No one was injured, but attack is estimated to have caused more than $300,000 in damage.

A self-styled anti-establishment group calling itself FFFC-Ottawa claimed responsibility for the attack and promised further action during the G8 and G20 summit meetings in Huntsville, Ont., and Toronto.

A statement from the group said it targeted the Royal Bank because of its support for the Vancouver Olympics "held on stolen indigenous land."
