BOGOTA, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Cerrejon, Colombia's largest coal

mine and a unit of Glencore ( GLCNF ), said on Thursday that an

explosives attack on its rail line in the northern department of

La Guajira forced it to suspend train operations.

* The attack took place shortly after midnight near

kilometer 125 of the 150-km (93-mile) railway that carries

thermal coal from the open-pit mine to Puerto Bolivar on the

Caribbean coast for export, the company said.

* "No one was injured and there were no impacts on the

safety of our workers," Cerrejon said in a statement.

* Authorities were inspecting the area while the company

assessed possible damage to the infrastructure.

* Cerrejon said the bombing was the fifth attack on its

infrastructure so far this year.

* The company did not address who might have been

responsible.

* Cerrejon, which employs more than 12,000 people in

Colombia, has faced repeated disruptions from protests by

Indigenous communities and bomb attacks on its railway that have

affected operations.

* The area also has a presence of fighters from the National

Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group and a dissident faction of

the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

* Communities near the mine have accused Swiss-based

Glencore ( GLCNF ) of causing environmental damage in the area. Cerrejon

produced 16.8 million metric tons of coal in 2025, down 12.5%

from 19.2 million tons in 2024.
