At least 10 Colombian police officers were killed and several others seriously injured after a police helicopter was shot down during an anti-narcotics mission in a remote jungle area. Authorities say the aircraft was hit by heavy gunfire from drug cartel-linked armed groups, forcing it to crash in hostile territory. The Colombian government condemned the attack, with President Gustavo Petro calling it a “cowardly assault” and vowing to intensify operations against narcotrafficking networks.
