Colombian President Blames Rebels for Deadly Highway Bombing
The President of Colombia has accused rebel groups of carrying out a highway bombing that killed at least 14 people.
Authorities said the explosion targeted a major roadway, causing multiple casualties and significant damage, in one of the deadliest recent attacks in the country.
The president condemned the incident, vowing to intensify security operations against armed groups blamed for ongoing violence. While no specific group was immediately named, suspicion has fallen on insurgent factions active in rural and conflict-prone regions.
Emergency responders were deployed to the scene, with several injured victims receiving treatment at nearby medical facilities.
The attack underscores persistent security challenges in Colombia, where decades-long conflict involving rebel groups, criminal networks, and government forces continues to impact stability.
