11th March 2026
In a rural area of the municipality of Anorí, Antioquia, soldiers from the Bomboná Battle Battalion of the 14th Brigade discovered and subsequently carried out the controlled destruction of four improvised explosive devices (IEDs) of the antipersonnel mine type, allegedly planted by the ELN armed group. The neutralization was carried out with the support of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team, thus preventing potential harm to the civilian population and the security forces. Therefore, the community is encouraged to report the presence of these deadly weapons by calling 107, allowing authorities to act promptly. These acts represent a clear violation of human rights and an infringement of international humanitarian law, for which the corresponding legal complaints will be filed.
