Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses Ecuador of conducting bombings into Colombia, while Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa denies these claims, intensifying the diplomatic conflict between the two nations.
Tensions between Colombia and Ecuador have sharply escalated following allegations exchanged between their presidents, Gustavo Petro and Daniel Noboa. During a televised cabinet meeting, Petro claimed that Colombia was being bombarded from Ecuadorian territory, asserting that his government was not being attacked by illegal armed groups but rather by Ecuador itself. This accusation significantly increases the strain on diplomatic relations, which have already been challenged since January this year.
