Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Britain’s Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage on X showing an orange powder paint covering some of the stones of the country’s famous prehistoric megalithic structure.
Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths and spraying paint as another person attempted to stop them, in the video released by the group.
