New drone attack on Aguachica station, the second in 11 days

A new drone attack occurred early this morning against the police station in Aguachica, southern Cesar department, causing three detainees to flee and injuring one person due to shrapnel. Authorities are investigating whether the ELN guerrilla group is behind the attack. This marks the second such incident in 11 days, with the previous attack occurring on September 24, where four grenades were launched by drones but no injuries were reported. The local mayor has called for a new security council to assess measures to strengthen safety. The military and police continue their security operations in the area, alongside the Unified Command Post (PMU). The government plans to establish a new Joint Task Force named 'Urano,' aimed at combating hydrocarbon theft and targeting armed groups like the ELN and Clan del Golfo. The task force will be led by Colonel Óscar Fernando Reyes and include capabilities from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, intelligence agencies, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office. This model was revived two years after Defense Minister Iván Velásquez discontinued similar efforts, citing limitations in joint military capabilities. In the Pacific region, there have been 1

El artículo reporta que el 85,6% de los municipios colombianos con minería de oro de aluvión (EVOA) tienen presencia de grupos armados ilegales, incluyendo al Clan del Golfo, disidencias de las FARC y ELN. La explotación de oro ha aumentado un 4,5% en 2025, con 118.410 hectáreas afectadas, de las cuales el 75% corresponde a actividades ilegales. Estos grupos armados financian operaciones, cobran extorsiones y utilizan el oro como recurso de ingresos. La situación se agrava en zonas donde coexiste la producción de coca, ya que en esos territorios el 84% de la minería de oro es ilegal.
