[Colombia announced the killing of 10 members of the anti-government armed forces] October 26th, Colombian President de la Espriea stated through social media on the 25th local time that the Colombian military and police recently launched a joint military operation in Cauca Province in the southwestern part of the country and killed 10 members of the anti-government armed "National Liberation Army of Colombia", including two main leaders. De la Espriea said that this operation was the heaviest blow against the anti-government armed forces in the past eight years. It not only weakened the command system and combat capabilities of the armed organization, but also thwarted its attempts to control the strategic passage along Colombia's Pacific coast and related areas. During the operation, military and police personnel seized 7 rifles, 1 pistol and 2 grenades, and discovered a camp that could accommodate about 25 people. The National Liberation Army of Colombia was established in 1964 and is believed to have thousands of members. The organization is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union and operates mainly on the Pacific coast of Colombia and on the border between Colombia and Venezuela.
