Southwest Colombia was rocked by a string of explosions and gun attacks that left at least three people dead on Tuesday, police said, in what appeared to be a coordinated attack designed to sow terror.
The attacks hit Cali – the country’s third-largest city – and several nearby towns, targeting police stations and other municipal buildings.
The head of police, Carlos Fernando Triana told La FM radio that assailants had attacked targets with car bombs, motorcycle bombs, rifle fire and a suspected drone.
“There are two police officers dead, and a number of members of the public are also dead,” he said.
