On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, a coordinated attack targeted a police convoy in the rural area of El Zulia, Norte de Santander, resulting in two officers being seriously injured. The incident unfolded around 9:40 a.m., when Colonel Jorge Andrés Bernal Granada, commander of the Police Department of Norte de Santander, was traveling with his security detail along a highway near the municipality of El Zulia. According to reports from local authorities, the vehicle came under fire and an explosive device was triggered, leading to a brief but intense confrontation. The attackers reportedly deployed multiple explosives along the road before launching a barrage of gunfire at the convoy. The attack lasted approximately 15 minutes, during which the officers fought back while attempting to evacuate the area to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Two police personnel were severely wounded by shrapnel from the explosion. The surviving officers managed to reach the city of Cúcuta, where they received immediate medical attention. As of the latest update, both victims are out of danger and recovering. The incident has been classified as a terrorist act, with initial investigations pointing toward the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) as potential perpetrators, though this has not yet been officially confirmed. Colonel Bernal provided a detailed account of the attack during an interview with Noticias Caracol. He described how the ambush occurred as his unit was en route from Cúcuta to Sardinata, specifically at the Vereda Camilandia section. According to him, the attackers had pre-planted several explosive devices along the roadside and later launched a coordinated assault using automatic weapons and rifles. The colonel recounted hearing a powerful detonation after passing the location where the explosives were placed, indicating that the blast caused significant damage to the vehicle and its occupants. During the encounter, the police force was supported by specialized units including jungle commandos from the National Police’s anti-narcotics division. These teams helped secure the area and recover some of their colleagues who were trapped inside the explosion zone. The presence of these forces allowed them to neutralize the threat and provide emergency care to the injured. Despite the severity of the situation, the overall response was effective in minimizing casualties and ensuring the survival of the commanding officer. In addition to the recent attack, there have been other incidents targeting law enforcement in the region. On Tuesday, July 28, another vehicle carrying Colonel José Luis Vargas Manrique, commander of the Puerto Santander Police Station, and his driver was attacked near the village of Alto Viento, also in the Cúcuta area. An improvised explosive device was detonated as the vehicle passed, followed by gunfire. However, due to the vehicle's armor, both officers remained unharmed, although the truck sustained material damage. This incident highlights a pattern of attacks against police officials in the area, raising concerns about the increasing level of violence in the region. Local authorities have begun investigating the origins of these attacks, with preliminary indications suggesting involvement from armed groups operating in the area. The military has been mobilized to assist in securing the site and preventing further threats. In response to the escalating situation, the Ministry of Defense announced a reward of up to 200 million pesos for information leading to the identification and capture of those responsible for the attacks. The ministry also condemned the actions as acts of terrorism, emphasizing that such behavior would not go unanswered. The political leadership has also expressed solidarity with the affected communities and the police force. President-elect Abelardo De La Espriella issued a statement condemning the attack and reaffirming the government's commitment to maintaining public safety. Similarly, Senator Iván Cepeda, representing the Pacto Histórico coalition, called for calm and emphasized that violence should never be used as a tool in political discourse. Both leaders reiterated their support for the investigation into the attacks and their determination to hold the perpetrators accountable. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on identifying the individuals behind these attacks and ensuring the safety of both civilians and law enforcement personnel. The region, already known for its complex security challenges, faces heightened risks due to the ongoing conflict involving illegal armed groups. Authorities are working closely with regional and national agencies to strengthen security measures and prevent future incidents. The situation underscores the need for continued vigilance and cooperation among all stakeholders to maintain stability in the area.

Dva policista, ki sta ga spremljala, sta bila poškodovana s šrapnelom iz eksplozivov in sta bila odpeljana v medicinski center.

Preživela sta zaradi oklepne zaščite svojega avtomobila. Napadi so se odvijali na območjih, znanih po prisotnosti nezakonitih oboroženih skupin, kot je ELN. Območje je bilo opredeljeno kot prednostna naloga za varnost pod novo administracijo, po obisku prihodnjega predsednika Abelardo La Espriella.
