Cenit, a subsidiary of state-owned oil company Ecopetrol, said Thursday that Colombia’s double-ended pipeline was the target of a new explosive attack, forcing a suspension of oil pumping.
One of the most important pipelines in the country was the attack in a rural area of ​​the fort city of the Araka department in the northeastern country. No death or injury.
The military attributed the attack to Colombia’s largest active rebel group, the National People’s Liberation Army (ELN), guerrillas, with about 6,000 combatants regarded as terrorist organizations by the United States and the European Union.
