About 20 people wearing masks attacked the Coastal GasLink on Thursday with axes and tried to set a vehicle on fire while someone was still inside.
Masked activists with axes and flare guns attacked the Canadian Coastal GasLink pipeline site, causing millions of dollars in damage as workers fled for their safety.
The attack comes as tension are high in Canada from so-called"Freedom Convoy" protests, for which Prime Ministerinvoked emergency powers for the first time in 50 years. The incident at Coastal GasLink is just the most recent demonstration they've seen regarding its 420-mile pipeline to the west coast of British Columbia as part of the LNG liquified natural gas project, Reuters reported.on Twitter.
Coastal GasLink alleged that attackers wearing camouflage surrounded the workers in a"highly planned and dangerous unprovoked assault." They entered the site by using grinders to cut the locks on the gate and then cut fuel lines and equipment hydraulics, causing dangerous leaks. The company said it's assessing the damage and environmental impact while working to contain and clean the mess.
When officers attempted to bypass the obstacles, police said several individuals were throwing"smoke bombs" and flaming sticks. One officer was injured in the incident. When police made it to the site, they said there was"significant damage" to equipment and buildings, Canadian news outlet The Star reported.
