Violent clashes erupted in Milan, Italy, after masked protesters threw stones and set fires during a demonstration, forcing the evacuation of Piazza del Duomo and a luxury shopping area. Police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowds. At least two police officers were injured and around 50 protesters, including many minors, were detained. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the violence, while Milan's mayor acknowledged the protest's causes but rejected the destruction. The unrest coincided with similar protests in France over living costs, and disruptions were also reported in Turin and Bologna, where a train station was temporarily closed.
