Authorities believe the attack was orchestrated by a commander of the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), aiming to target civilians and law enforcement. The bus contained 420 kilograms of ammonium nitrate and seven concealed launch ramps. Over 11,000 police officers are deployed in Cali to secure the event. Outgoing Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez linked the plot to FARC commander Jaime 'Mad Max' Martinez, who is wanted for multiple crimes. A $157,000 reward has been offered for information leading to Martinez's arrest.

A car-bomb attack targets southwest Colombia a day after conservative president takes officeA car bomb exploded in southwestern Colombia on Saturday, just a day after conservative President Abelardo de la Espriella took office. The military attributed the attack to two dissident factions of the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which opposed the peace deal signed a decade ago. The blast occurred at a toll plaza on the Pan-American Highway, injuring two security guards. De la Espriella, a first-time president with no prior political experience, won a closely contested election against progressive Senator Iván Cepeda, who accused the election of fraud. His inauguration comes amid strong opposition from his predecessor, Gustavo Petro, who refuses to recognize the results. In addition to addressing the bombing, de la Espriella announced the relocation of 117 prisoners associated with past peace negotiations to high-security facilities.

Russian Embassy in Rome blames Ukraine for deadly Italian restaurant bombing in MoscowThe Russian Embassy in Rome accused Ukraine of responsibility for a deadly bombing at a Moscow restaurant on August 1, 2026, which killed five and injured 19. The embassy claimed the attack aimed to intimidate the Italian community in Russia. Initial reports by the National Anti-Terrorism Committee stated three deaths, including the bomber and a guard who intervened. The Russian Foreign Ministry did not comment on the embassy's claim or the discrepancy in casualty numbers. Some Russian media suggested the bombing targeted a high-ranking military officer, though this was unverified. Russia has previously blamed Ukraine for attacks on military officials since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the attack as an act of Ukrainian aggression against Russians, using terms like 'Kyiv terrorists' and emphasizing Russia's blame without presenting alternative perspectives or Ukrainian responses.
