Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused Ecuador of conducting bombings on Colombian territory, following the discovery of an unexploded bomb in a border area alleged to have been dropped from an Ecuadorian aircraft. Petro asserted that this incident is not the work of armed groups or the official forces of Colombia, suggesting instead that an investigation is warranted to clarify the source of the bombardment. He mentioned having evidence, including a video, that he believes should be released to the public.

During his statements, Petro expressed his concern over what he described as 'strange' events taking place and delivered a message to U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to communicate with Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa. He emphasized that Colombia does not desire war, highlighting the importance of peace while also referencing growing global threats from missiles in the contemporary era. Petro has initiated an investigation into the bombing incident, underscoring the serious implications such actions could have on Colombian sovereignty and regional stability.

This accusation adds a layer of complexity to Colombia-Ecuador relations, with historical tensions between the two nations that sometimes escalate into armed confrontations. It raises questions about regional security and the responsibility of nations to prevent cross-border conflicts. The geopolitical dynamics in this part of South America may be further scrutinized as Petro seeks clarity and accountability from Ecuadorian authorities over these serious allegations.
