The number of people killed in a bombing in a volatile region in southwest Colombia<\/a> rose to 20, officials said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The attack happened Saturday when an explosive device was detonated<\/a> on a bus traveling along the Pan-American Highway in the municipality of Cajibio. So far, 15 women and five men are among the victims, according to Octavio Guzm\u00e1n, governor of the region of Cauca.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X that the attack injured 36 others, three of whom are in intensive care. Guzm\u00e1n noted that five of the injured are minors who are expected to recover.<\/p>\n

Colombia\u2019s Institute of Legal Medicine said that specialists including dentists, anthropologists and forensic doctors are identifying the victims.<\/p>\n

The bombing is the latest attack in the region, with more than two dozen incidents reported in the past three days in southwestern Colombia. The region is home to illegal armed groups who vie for control of coca leaf cultivation areas<\/a> and for sea and river access routes to run drug trafficking operations to Central America and Europe.<\/p>\n

Gen. Hugo L\u00f3pez, commander of Colombia\u2019s armed forces, has described the incident as a “terrorist act.” He blamed it on the network of a man known as “Iv\u00e1n Mordisco” \u2014 one of Colombia\u2019s most wanted figures \u2014 and the Jaime Mart\u00ednez faction. Both are dissidents of the now-defunct Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia that operate in the region.<\/p>\n

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights<\/a> condemned the attacks against the civilian population and called on authorities to investigate the incidents and “guarantee justice for the victims.”<\/p>\n

Guzm\u00e1n declared three days of mourning on Sunday in memory of the victims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
