Police posts, municipal buildings, and civilian areas in Cali — Colombia’s third-largest city — and nearby towns including Villa Rica, Guachinte, and Corinto were targeted using car bombs, motorcycle bombs, drones, and gunfire. Charred vehicles and debris littered the streets, with AFP journalists reporting extensive damage to infrastructure.
A wave of 24 coordinated bombings and gun attacks killed at least 7 people and injured 28 others in southwestern Colombia on Tuesday, as authorities blamed dissident guerrilla fighters for what security experts are calling a “well-coordinated offensive.
“There are two police officers dead, and a number of members of the public are also dead,” National Police chief Carlos Fernando Triana said.
