Drone attack destroys El Tambo police station in Cauca
Drones destroyed the police station in the municipality of El Tambo, in the department of Cauca, in an attack attributed to FARC dissidents, according to reporting by Google News CO — Crime.
The incident represents a new escalation of violence in a region historically affected by the presence of illegal armed groups. El Tambo is a municipality in south-western Colombia where dissident structures of the former FARC maintain an active presence.
Colombian authorities attributed responsibility for the attack to these dissidents, although at the time of reporting official figures for victims and the full extent of material damage to police infrastructure had not been confirmed.
The use of drones as a weapon of attack against state facilities marks a concerning pattern in the tactics employed by armed groups in rural areas of the country.
