#8: Rebels Use Explosive Drones In Attacks

Armed groups in Colombia are now using drones to drop explosives on army bases and police outposts. These makeshift weapons mark a new phase of guerrilla warfare, combining low-cost technology with old tactics of fear and disruption.

Officials say the shift shows how quickly rebel groups are adapting. What was once a rural conflict now includes drone warfare and high-tech smuggling. For soldiers and civilians on the ground, it’s a reminder that Colombia’s violence continues to evolve, even as peace talks drag on.
