"The bombings along the Colombia-Ecuador border do not appear to be the work of armed groups—they don't have aircraft—nor of the Colombian security forces. I did not give that order, wrote Petro in a post on X on Tuesday morning."
"We're going to thoroughly investigate the circumstances it happened very close to the border with Ecuador which somewhat confirms my suspicion, but we need to investigate thoroughly: they're bombing us from Ecuador, and it's not the armed groups, said the president."
"President Petro, your declarations are false, we are acting in our territory, not yours. Noboa dismissed Petro's accusations on Tuesday morning, writing on X."
Colombian President Gustavo Petro reported discovering 27 charred bodies on the Colombia-Ecuador border and alleged that Ecuador's military conducted bombing operations on Colombian territory. Petro stated the bombings were not conducted by armed groups or Colombian security forces, suggesting Ecuadorean involvement. Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa rejected these accusations, asserting all military strikes occur exclusively within Ecuador's borders as part of a US-backed campaign against armed groups. Colombia's Ministry of National Defence deployed security forces and experts to investigate the explosive device and determine its origin. International observers note significant uncertainty regarding the attack's exact details, origin, and targets.
