Qin did not specify when the attack on the oil field in Ecuador had occurred, or reveal the name of the Chinese company, but confirmed that an attack had occurred, forcing a halt to production.
According to Qin, local armed police forces were injured during the clash, but no Chinese staff.

The situation in the area is stabilizing, Qin added.
