A gun battle against the Army in El Tambo, Cauca, ended with four wounded, five captured and a minor apprehended

A confrontation occurred between civilians and members of the Colombian National Army in El Tambo, Cauca, during military operations under 'Operation Perseo' in the Cañón del Micay area. According to the army's official statement, approximately 500 people attempted to stop the military advance, allegedly under the influence of individuals known as Samuel and El Gordo, who are linked to the residual structure of Carlos Patiño. Four individuals attacked soldiers, attempting to disarm them and using explosive devices, which posed a serious threat to the troops. The army used non-lethal measures to subdue the situation, resulting in four injured individuals who were evacuated by air to Popayán for medical care. Five people were detained for alleged acts of rebellion, while a minor was apprehended and placed under legal procedures. The army has vowed to pursue criminal charges against those involved and emphasized its commitment to maintaining order and respecting human rights.
