Colombia has been rocked by a series of coordinated attacks, including car bombings and helicopter assaults, attributed primarily to FARC dissidents. Recent incidents have left at least 18 people dead and dozens injured across multiple locations, including an air base and the city of Cali. Among the victims are police officers, with reports indicating that a police helicopter was shot down during an anti-narcotics mission, resulting in significant casualties. The Colombian government has condemned these terrorist acts and vowed to intensify efforts against armed groups. As the situation remains tense, security forces are on high alert.
