#OperationalStrength | Troops from the 11th Light Infantry Battalion "Cacique Nutibara," of the #FourthBrigade, engaged in combat against members of the Edwin Román Velásquez Valle substructure of the Clan del Golfo cartel in the Palenque village, municipality of Jericó, #Antioquia.

As a result of the operation, two alleged members of this criminal group were neutralized during military operations.

Additionally, two rifles, more than 400 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, seven magazines, military supplies, and explosives were seized.

This operational action significantly weakens the criminal capacity of this structure, responsible for affecting the security and peace of communities in southwestern Antioquia. The @COL_EJERCITO will continue to conduct military operations to protect the civilian population. #HomelandHonorLoyalty #OurCommitmentIs 🇨🇴
