Truck Explodes Outside Colombia Police Base, Injuring 11 Officers and Killing a Dog

A truck bomb exploded outside a police base in Cucuta, Colombia, early Saturday, injuring 11 officers and killing a police dog. Colombia’s police director said the blast came from a truck left near the headquarters of police in Norte de Santander Province, damaging much of the building’s roof and shattering windows. Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez blamed the ELN rebel group and offered a reward for information. The attack occurred amid broader unrest tied to smuggling routes and upcoming political changes.
