At least 17 people have been killed and dozens injured in two attacks in Colombia attributed to dissident factions of the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group. A National Police Black Hawk helicopter participating in a coca leaf crop eradication operation was downed by a drone. In Cali, a vehicle packed with explosives detonated on Thursday near a military aviation school. Colombian President Gustavo Petro blamed the attacks on dissident factions of the now-defunct FARC group that have rejected a 2016 peace agreement to end a prolonged internal conflict that has left more than 450,000 dead in the country. n18oc_crux
