The latest news on Colombia. The country has been rocked by two deadly attacks that left multiple victims and deepened the country's worst security turmoil in years. At least 18 people have been killed and dozens wounded in two separate attacks.
In Cali, a car bomb tore through a busy street near a military aviation school, killing civilians and injuring many more. Hours earlier, a police helicopter was brought down by a drone strike in a rural area outside Medellín, leaving all officers on board dead.
Authorities blame rival dissident factions of the former Farc guerrilla movement, with officials vowing a tough response as martial law was imposed in Cali and new security measures prepared. The escalation raises fresh concerns ahead of next year's elections.
