Soldiers from the 4th Field Artillery Battalion of the #FourthBrigade located and destroyed an improvised explosive device (IED) in a controlled manner. The device was apparently planted by the GAO-r Structure 36 in the village of San Mateo, municipality of Briceño, #Antioquia. This action neutralizes a risk to the civilian population and weakens the criminal capabilities of this residual organized armed group. We continue our ongoing offensive to protect communities and contribute to the security of the territory.
