Protestors Seize Peruvian Oil Tankers
In Peru's Amazon region, a group of indigenous protesters carried out an attack on two oil tankers. Utilizing gasoline bombs launched from canoes on the Amazon River, the attackers have managed to seize over a dozen workers as captives. The tankers belong to PetroTal, Peru's largest oil producer based in Canada. One of the tankers was carrying approximately 40,000 barrels of crude oil, while the other was reportedly empty. These ships were en route from an oil field in Loreto to Brazil.
