Climate activists spray Berlin's Brandenburg Gate in orange paint

Activists from the Last Generation environmental group sprayed orange paint on all six columns of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on Sunday as the city braces for more climate demonstrations.

Police said several people had been taken into custody.

Last Generation said that fire extinguishers were used to spray the iconic sight in the German capital.

Paint was also sprayed on Pariser Platz, the square located in front of the landmark at the western end of Unter den Linden boulevard.

Orange footprints were stamped across the area.

Last Generation members have called for renewed street blockades in the German capital to begin on Monday for an indefinite period. They are demanding the end to fossil fuel use by 2030.
