Truck bomb kills four near Colombian military base amid intensified operations

Colombian President De la Espriella has ordered intensified military operations and bombings following a truck bomb attack near a military base in Planadas, Tolima, which killed four civilians, including an infant, and damaged a hospital. This incident, part of a series of explosive attacks across Huila, Cauca, and Tolima, signals a shift to a more aggressive security posture against armed groups. The perpetrators of the Planadas attack and other recent incidents remain unconfirmed, though armed group involvement is suspected.
