Colombia Terror Attack: 17 Killed As Colombia Hit By DEADLIEST Attack | ‘Police Helicopter Downed’

Colombia has been rocked by one of its deadliest coordinated attacks in recent years, leaving at least 17 people dead.

Authorities say dissidents of the defunct FARC rebels launched two brutal strikes: a car bomb outside a military aviation school in Cali and a drone attack on a police helicopter in Antioquia.

At least 12 police officers were killed in the helicopter attack, which targeted personnel eradicating coca leaf crops, the raw material for cocaine.

Another five lives were lost in the car bomb blast, which also injured more than 30 people.

President Gustavo Petro initially blamed the Gulf Clan drug cartel but later pointed to FARC dissidents as key perpetrators.

The violence underscores Colombia’s deepening security crisis as drug cartels and rebel remnants escalate attacks.

The United Nations recently reported coca cultivation reached record highs, fueling tensions across the country.
