The latest action by the anti-fossil fuel protest group comes just a day after Stonehenge was targeted. On Wednesday, two Just Stop Oil protestors threw orange powder at the UNESCO World Heritage Site and prehistoric monument.
The group later said the power was colored cornflour that would “wash away with rain.” The two protestors were arrested by local law enforcement on suspicion of damaging the site.
The group and its controversial protest tactics have come under fire from U.K. government officials, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
On Wednesday, Sunak said the Stonehenge incident was a “disgraceful act of vandalism.” The group has targeted several sporting events, art galleries, award shows and public roads as part of their protests.
