The Colombian Ombudsman's Office (Defensoría del Pueblo) has reported a 146% increase in the use of explosive-laden drones within the country. The agency warns that these attacks, previously concentrated in remote regions, now pose a direct threat to both rural and urban populations.

This escalation signifies a shift in the operational tactics of armed groups, expanding the geographic scope of the danger. The report highlights the growing vulnerability of civilian communities to these aerial devices as the security landscape in Colombia continues to evolve.
