On Saturday, August 8, two separate explosive attacks occurred in Colombia. In the first incident, a police sub-intendant, Argemiro Rodelo Canchila, was killed in the Cesar department when explosives were dropped from a drone onto the San Roque police substation. In a separate event, unidentified individuals used explosives to destroy a toll booth under construction on the Pan-American Highway between Popayán and Cali.

The destruction of the toll booth took place one day after the inauguration of President Abelardo de la Espriella. The president has since issued a statement regarding the incident, though details of his remarks were not provided in the reports.
