BOGOTA, May 30 (Reuters) - Colombia's Cano Limon-Covenas pipeline was bombed by unknown actors, operator Cenit said in a statement on Tuesday, prolonging the suspension of pumping crude between oil fields in the country's northeast and the Caribbean coast, where the oil is exported.
Colombia's military is working to secure the area, Cenit added.
Pumping along the pipeline has been suspended since April 14 due to other attacks.
Restarting operations will depend on the military's ability to secure the area where the attacks took place while repairs continue.
The Cano Limon-Covenas pipeline, which can transport up to 210,000 barrels of oil per day and runs along Colombia's northern border with Venezuela, was attacked 13 times last year, leading to fires and contamination of the surrounding area.
