Seven Colombian Soldiers Killed In ELN Guerrilla Drone Attack

ELN guerrillas used explosives-laden drones to strike an army base in northern Colombia, killing seven troops and wounding dozens amid rising security tensions.

At least seven Colombian soldiers were killed and 30 others wounded after a guerrilla group launched a coordinated drone and explosives attack on a military base in northern Colombia, the country’s armed forces said Thursday December 18, 2025.

The assault targeted Military Base 27 in the Department of Cesar and was attributed to the National Liberation Army, or ELN, a leftist guerrilla group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
