Drone warfare has surged in Colombia, with authorities recording 115 attacks in 2024 alone, largely attributed to illegal armed groups. In response, the Colombian government has initiated plans to enhance its anti-drone measures to better detect and neutralize such threats.
This recent attack highlights the persistent threats posed by dissident factions of the Farc guerrilla group, which has maintained its influence in the area, particularly in drug trafficking activities. The group is led by Iván Mordisco, who abandoned peace negotiations with the government in April 2024. Military officials indicate that the attack forms part of broader criminal operations engaged in extortion and cocaine production, further complicating the security landscape in Colombia.
As Colombia continues to grapple with violence stemming from illegal armed groups, the loss of life among security forces raises concerns about the nation's ability to maintain stability and protect its citizens.
