Colombian offensive pushes ELN into Venezuela; GNB clash leaves one dead

A clash between Venezuela's National Guard (GNB) and ELN guerrillas in Táchira state left one dead and five injured, according to Fundaredes. The incident follows a new Colombian military offensive against organized crime, backed by the US, which has reportedly displaced guerrilla groups into Venezuelan border territory. This cross-border spillover underscores the regional security impact of Colombia's campaign and the ELN's presence in Venezuela.
