Climate change activists break into airport and paint entire plane orange

Climate change activists broke into an airfield and painted an entire plane orange. They reportedly used bolt cutters to gain access to Sylt Airport in northern Germany before covering the plane in paint.

A group named Letzte Generation - which translates as 'Last Generation' - claimed responsibility for the action online. It was later tweeted by Just Stop Oil, which has caused controversy in the UK for the high-profile climate activism.

After painting the aircraft bright orange, they made a speech directed at German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. No security or police are seen intervening throughout the video.
