Bombing Near Colombian Military Base Kills Four Including InfantPreviousNext

A bombing near a military base in Planadas, Tolima, Colombia, killed four civilians, including a two-month-old baby, and injured at least 17 others. The attack damaged a hospital and nearby homes. Authorities attributed the bombing to a renegade faction of the FARC guerrilla group opposing the 2016 peace accord. President Abelardo de la Espriella condemned the violence and pledged intensified military operations and aerial coca spraying to combat rebel activity in the region.
