ELN attack leaves two military personnel dead; senator issues stern warning to guerrilla group
Two soldiers were killed during an offensive by the National Liberation Army (ELN) against a military installation in Colombia, according to reporting by Google News CO — Crime based on information from Infobae.
Following news of the events, senator Miguel Ángel De la Espriella issued a severe warning to the armed group. "We are going to fight them without rest," declared the legislator, in a reaction that reflects growing tension between the Colombian State and the ELN guerrilla.
The attack on the military base represents a new escalation by the insurgent group, which in recent months has intensified its armed actions across different regions of the country. The offensive exposed the vulnerability of some military installations to guerrilla attacks.
De la Espriella did not specify the concrete measures that would be adopted, but his tone marked a clear distancing from any possibility of de-escalation with the ELN in the short term. Colombian authorities have not issued an additional official statement at this time regarding the operation or the whereabouts of those responsible for the attack.
