On Tuesday, a series of bomb explosions struck police posts in the city of Cali, Colombia, killing at least two individuals and injuring 36 others. The coordinated attacks targeted specific neighborhoods, with one bomb reportedly placed on a motorcycle. Mayor Alejandro Eder emphasized the immediate response by emergency services. These incidents occurred shortly after a major attack on a presidential candidate in Bogotá, raising concerns about increasing violence linked to dissident guerrilla factions, particularly those splintered from the FARC militia. Additional related attacks were noted in nearby municipalities, intensifying fears of escalating conflict.
Our security forces are on the scene and health teams are on alert in case of further incidents," Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder stated on social media. Although the attacks were coordinated and targeted police, details of the perpetrators remain unclear.
The bombings came just days after the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate in Bogotá, a brazen attack that has put the country on edge.
