Overview

• Authorities report a truck bomb detonated outside the Marco Fidel Suárez military aviation school in Cali, killing six and injuring more than 60, with a second explosive vehicle neutralized nearby.
• A police Black Hawk was brought down with an explosive-laden drone during an anti-coca mission in rural Amalfi; later official tallies cite 12 officers killed.
• Petro attributes the strikes to FARC dissident structures, pointing to the EMC’s Carlos Patiño column in Cali and Frente 36 in Amalfi, describing the actions as retaliation for operations in the Cañón del Micay.
• At least one suspect was detained at the Cali scene — identified by the president as ‘alias Sebastián’ linked to the EMC — as the Fiscalía leads ongoing investigations; some reports note a second arrest.
• Cali imposed truck restrictions and militarized key areas, rewards of up to 400 million pesos were offered for tips, and the government is moving to label the EMC, Segunda Marquetalia and Clan del Golfo as terrorist organizations.
