Forensic Medicine confirmed the results of Operation Azarías in Guaviare, in which 23 dissidents died: two were minors

Colombia's National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences confirmed that two minors were among the 24 individuals killed during Operation Azarías, a military action targeting FARC dissidents in the Guaviare department. Forensic authorities have successfully identified 20 of the 24 bodies recovered following the joint military operation.

The presence of minors among the deceased has drawn attention to the ongoing conflict between state forces and armed groups in the region. The findings follow official identification processes conducted by the institute to clarify the circumstances and identities of those killed during the military engagement.
