Masked attackers were seen climbing over a first-floor railing on the building and trying to throw furniture from an office. A blaze broke out along the mission's front facade.

The neighboring Croatian Embassy also was attacked by the same group of protesters.

Riot police intervened, firing tear gas and driving a number of armored jeeps down the street to clear the crowd.
