Car bomb explosion near a police station on the border of Colombia with Venezuela leaves one dead and 11 injured

A car bomb explosion occurred near a police station in Los Patios, a border town with Venezuela, resulting in one death and 11 injuries. The attack took place around midnight in the metropolitan area of Cúcuta, which has long been a battleground between drug cartels and rebel groups vying for control of smuggling routes into Venezuela. Colombian authorities reported that among the injured were police officers, and President Abelardo de la Espriella vowed to pursue those responsible, calling the incident an act of terrorism. This follows a similar attack in August where an ELN-linked bombing killed a police dog and wounded 11 officers.
