The National Guard (GNB) conducted an operation in Táchira state against an unspecified Colombian armed group. Among other things, they seized a "60mm mortar grenade" that looks more like an improvised drone grenade (and larger than 60mm). The captain uses a FAB Defense KPOS M4 kit for his Glock pistol, a kit likely acquired from the US civilian market.
