Protesters torched the access gate to the U.S. Embassy in the Honduran capital on Friday during a second day of major protests against President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
The protesters set fire to the entrance of the building in downtown Tegucigalpa with about a dozen tires after dousing them with fuel, Reuters witnesses and fire services officials said.
A fire department official said there were no damage to the embassy apart from the access gate.
According to Reuters, the attack came on the second day of protests over decrees by Hernandez that his critics argue will lead to the privatization of public services.
