In the U.K. port town of Dover white supremacists and anti-immigrant groups clashed with anti-fascist activists in violent confrontations that turned a large area into a “war zone,” local officials reported Saturday.

The results of the clashes are at least six persons injured and nine others arrested after police officers wearing anti-riot gear were forced to intervene between the far-right, anti-immigrant, white supremacist demonstrators and the left-wing activists.

​White supremacists from the National Front, Southeast Alliance, Northwest Infidels and the East Kent English Patriots began throwing bricks and smoke bombs at the leftists, who were there defending the rights of immigrants and refugees.

The supremacist groups are all opposed to immigration, as well as migration from other E.U. countries to the U.K. They were countered by anti-fascists groups such as the Kent Anti-Fascist Network.
