The situation in New Caledonia remains "tense," French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said on Thursday after violent riots led to the deaths of five people on the French Pacific island amid anger over a contested electoral reform.

"Our goal is to restore order in New Caledonia," Attal told reporters during a press conference.
