Greenpeace activists storm Russian oil rig
MOSCOW (AP) — Greenpeace activists have stormed a floating oil rig in Russia's Pechora Sea, hundreds of miles from the nearest port, to protest oil drilling in the Arctic, the environmental organization said on Friday.
Six activists boarded the Prirazlomnaya platform in the early hours on Friday and remain on the rig, Greenpeace said in a statement. They set off in inflatable speedboats from their ship and scaled the platform with mooring lines.
