Colombian authorities have accused the National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group of carrying out a recent attack involving the use of drones to drop explosives on a compound. The incident marks a concerning escalation in the conflict, as armed drones have rarely been documented in the region’s decades-long insurgency. Security forces are investigating the claims, which follow a pattern of heightened violence attributed to the ELN in recent months. The attack underscores growing concerns over the group’s evolving tactics and the challenges they pose to regional stability.
