At least 18 people have been killed and dozens wounded in two separate attacks in Colombia, deepening the country’s most serious security crisis in decades, the BBC reports.
Six people died and more than 60 were injured after a car bomb exploded on a busy street in the western city of Cali in Colombia, according to authorities.
Earlier on Thursday, a separate drone attack against a police helicopter killed at least 12 people in a rural area outside the northwestern city of Medellin.
The attacks, attributed to different dissident factions of the now defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) group, pose fresh challenges to Colombia’s fragile peace processes ahead of elections next year.
