MEXICO CITY (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 14th November, 2018) Illegal armed groups have damaged Colombia's second largest oil pipeline of Cano-Limon Covenas, the Colombian Ecopetrol energy giant said late on Tuesday.

As a result, three channels in the northwestern province of Arauca have been polluted, according to the company.

The energy giant noted that it has activated the emergency plan of action.

Such incidents regularly occur in Colombia.� The insurgents of the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerilla group, as well as dissidents from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) refused to accept the FARC's 2016 peace treaty with Colombian government and have repeatedly attacked infrastructure facilities in the country.
