Colombia reports 20 militants killed in airstrikes

The airstrikes carried out by the Colombian armed forces early Monday morning in Guaviare province resulted in the death of twenty members of armed groups, including a faction that split from the FARC led by Iván Murillo, who is one of the most wanted individuals in the country. President Gustavo Petro indicated that the raids are part of a new security policy and classified the deceased as "drug terrorists." The operation also led to the arrest of five others and the rescue of two minors, in measures considered the most intense since he took office in August 2023. This operation is part of a third wave of airstrikes, the most violent since Petro’s presidency began, and marks the highest death toll since Juan Manuel Santos’s administration. The region is embroiled in armed conflicts over drug trafficking and illegal mining, with the president vowing to fight organized crime in cooperation with the United States and Israel, though he has not disclosed the number of minors among the victims.
