Dutch telecommunications towers damaged by 5G protestors

AMSTERDAM: Several Dutch cellular broadcasting towers have been damaged by arson or sabotage in the past week by opponents of a rollout of a new 5G telecommunications network, newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Saturday.

The paper said there have been 4 such incidents in the past week, and cited the director of an industry group that oversees placement of cell towers in the country, The Monet Foundation.

The Telegraaf reported that arsonists had left an anti-5G slogan spray-painted at the scene of one attack.
