How to "burn" through wood in a vacuum?

+0
−0

This question relates to an attack on a biological space vessel.

My vessel is a space station made from wood, with an oxygen-rich atmosphere inside it. It is under attack and the attackers have decided to "burn" through the wood and let the air inside escape.

What will happen when you heat the outer surface of the station to high temperatures in a vacuum?

also:

What method would the attackers use to heat the wood?

The attackers have very advanced but scientifically plausible technology.
