Italy is preparing to deploy 500 additional soldiers to Milan following two days of violent unrest that saw shops looted, property vandalised and protesters clash with police. Authorities reported 271 detentions, including 220 minors, and 14 injured police officers. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announced the reinforcements under Italy's Safe Streets programme, while Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government considers tougher security measures. The unrest comes amid separate protest movements in France and other European countries over economic pressures and government policies.
