Clashes between Colombian military and guerrilla dissidents leave a soldier dead and another wounded

Guerrilla fighters reportedly carried out four bomb attacks that wounded six people in northeast Colombia, raising concerns about the peace process, according to officials.
The police and military held the ELN group responsible for the attacks after peace talks were called off last month, stated authorities.

The recent violence has led to over 60 deaths and the displacement of around 50,000 people in the conflict-ridden Catatumbo region, as noted by sources.
