Overview

• Authorities report at least six dead and about 60 injured after a truck bomb exploded outside the Marco Fidel Suárez air base in Cali.
• Twelve police officers were killed when an explosive‑laden drone brought down a helicopter near Amalfi in Antioquia during anti‑drug operations.
• Defense Minister Pedro Sanchez publicly blamed the EMC, a FARC dissident faction, for the Cali bombing and condemned it as a terrorist attack.
• Cali’s mayor announced a citywide truck ban, a $10,000 reward for information, and requested militarization as buildings and a nearby school were evacuated.
• Regional officials attributed the helicopter attack to the Calarca group, a splinter of the EMC, as investigators probe tactics that have escalated from June attacks previously claimed by the EMC.
