French police launched an investigation on Tuesday after pig heads were found outside several mosques in the Paris region, the city's police chief said.

At least nine were found, Laurent Nunez said, adding more could still be discovered.

"Pig heads have been left in front of certain mosques ... four in Paris and five in the inner suburbs," Nunez told a press conference. He said police weren't "ruling out the possibility that others may be found."

Nunez said in a post on X that "every effort is being made to find the perpetrators of these despicable acts."
