Drone attack launched by suspected guerrillas kills at least 3 soldiers in Colombia

In northeastern Colombia, an attack involving drones dropping explosives and a subsequent clash inside a military compound resulted in the deaths of at least three soldiers and injuries to four others. The Colombian army attributed the attack to the National Liberation Army (ELN), a rebel group active since 1964. This incident occurred in Ocaña, near the Venezuelan border, an area known for its strategic importance and coca production. President Abelardo de la Espriella condemned the violence, vowing to respond with the full force of the state. The ELN, along with dissident factions of the former FARC, is competing for control in this region. This attack follows other recent violent incidents attributed to the ELN, highlighting ongoing security challenges in Colombia. QUESTION: How might the ongoing conflict between rebel groups and the government in Colombia impact the lives of young people in the region?
