The attacks targeted the city of Cali \u2014 Colombia\u2019s third-largest \u2014 and several nearby towns, plunging the region into a renewed security crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities reported that a total of 19 attacks took place, involving car bombs, motorcycle bombs, rifle fire, and a suspected drone. The Colombian Ministry of Defence confirmed 12 attacks occurred in the Cauca region and seven in Valle del Cauca, where Cali is located.<\/p>\n<p>Police stations, municipal buildings, and civilian areas were among the targets. The number of injured is reported to be more than 50.<\/p>\n<p>Local media sources have attributed the violence to a faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a once-dominant guerrilla group.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Defence described the attacks as &#8220;a desperate reaction by illegal armed groups to the massive operations of the military and police, which have devastated their illicit structures and economies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cali&#8217;s mayor compared the violence to the city\u2019s dark past during the drug wars of the late 1980s, when it was plagued by cartel activity and brutal crime.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks follow closely on the heels of an attempted assassination of presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay in Bogot\u00e1. A 15-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene but has denied charges of attempted murder and illegal possession of a firearm. The Attorney General\u2019s office confirmed the youth will remain in detention following a court order.<\/p>\n<p>Colombia\u2019s government has yet to issue a full statement on the escalation in violence, as the nation grapples with fears of a wider resurgence of armed group activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wave of Bomb and Gun Attacks Leave At Least Seven Dead in South-Western Colombia. &nbsp;
