The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has warned of the possibility that Ecuador may have bombed his country's territory in the border area after the discovery of a bomb that, according to him, does not belong to illegal armed groups.
The head of state emphasized that an investigation is underway and commented: "Bombs have appeared, one was dropped from a plane. The methods will be thoroughly investigated."
In his words, he confirmed his suspicions: "They are bombing us from Ecuador, and they are not armed groups."
"I asked Trump: 'act, call the president of Ecuador,' because we don't want to go to war," Petro said, cited by Sputnik News, a source consulted by the Noticias Argentinas news agency.
The relationship between Colombia and Ecuador is going through a diplomatic and commercial crisis that intensified at the beginning of 2026, amid political tensions between the governments of Gustavo Petro and Daniel Noboa.
