Summary

Drones struck a military base in Santa Rosa del Sur, northern Colombia, killing three soldiers and injuring 16 others, according to reports; the Colombian army reported the attack. No group has been officially confirmed as responsible, and the reports differ on the perpetrator: the National Liberation Army (ELN) is named in several accounts, while others say no group has claimed it. Video showed smoke rising from the base after three explosions, and soldiers took cover in sandbag shelters. The area holds gold deposits and is contested by several armed groups. President Abelardo de la Espriella condemned the attack and vowed to pursue those responsible. The attack follows rising violence in rural Colombia since he took office in August.
