A car bomb exploded in Cali, Colombia, killing at least five and injuring dozens. The attack, blamed on the narco cartel, targeted the Marco Fidel Suarez Military Aviation School. Separately, a drone attack on a police helicopter, combating coca leaf crops, resulted in at least 12 deaths. These incidents are part of a recent surge in violence involving rebels, paramilitaries, and drug gangs using drones and car bombs. The Colombian government has responded by offering rewards for information and condemning the attacks as acts of terrorism.
