Colombia has increased its troop presence on the joint border with Venezuela after five Colombian soldiers were killed and several others wounded in an attack.

Traducción de cortesía -> Colombia ha aumentado su presencia de tropas en la frontera conjunta con Venezuela luego de que cinco soldados colombianos murieran y varios más resultaron heridos en un ataque. Los soldados murieron el sábado en enfrentamientos que, según Bogotá, fueron planeados en territorio vecino por grupos armados del último grupo rebelde restante de Colombia, el Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), y guerrilleros disidentes de las FARC, que rechazaron un acuerdo de paz de 2016 con el gobierno.
