Colombian president accuses Ecuador after ‘27 charred bodies’ found near border
AI Summary
Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused Ecuador of bombing targets inside Colombian territory, escalating tensions between the two nations. Petro stated that "27 charred bodies" were found near the border and an unexploded bomb was discovered close to a family home, suggesting the attack was not by Colombian forces or illegal groups. Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa denied the accusations, asserting his forces operate only within Ecuador's borders while combating narco-terrorism, much of which he claims originates in Colombia. This exchange follows previous clashes, including Ecuador's imposition of a "security tax" on Colombian imports and Colombia's retaliatory tariffs. Ecuador is currently struggling with increased drug-related violence as cartels vie for control of trafficking routes.
