RCMP said officers were sent to the site near Houston after Coastal GasLink security reported it was under attack.

Violence has erupted at a Coastal GasLink pipeline work site in Northern B.C., leaving workers shaken and millions of dollars in damage.

Very early Thursday, just after midnight, Coastal GasLink security called RCMP for help, reporting it was under attack by about 20 people, some wielding axes.

RCMP Chief Supt. Warren Brown, commander for the north district, called the attack a “calculated and organized violent attack that left its victims shaken and a multi-million dollar path of destruction.”

    Still, as a false flag it seems to me to be an excessively destructive one

    I kinda thought the same, but I'm also not familiar with the situation so maybe they just needed to scare a few people locally to push them in a certain direction. Maybe tons of press wasn't the goal.
