[Regnum] The death toll from the explosion on the Pan-American Highway in Colombia has risen to 20, Cauca Department Governor Octavio Guzmán announced on April 26.

"At this point, the report has recorded 20 civilian deaths—15 women and five men, all adults; 36 people were injured, three of whom remain in intensive care," Guzman wrote on social media.

He called the incident the most brutal and merciless attack on residents of the department in recent decades.

A crater of approximately 200 cubic meters was formed at the site of the explosion. Traffic is expected to be restored within six hours, the governor added.

The terrorist attack occurred on April 26, approximately 35 kilometers from Popayán, the capital of Cauca province. Attackers detonated an explosive device on a passenger bus. Thirteen people were killed and 17 injured. Several vehicles were damaged. Colombian President Gustavo Petro blamed terrorists and drug traffickers for the attack. Petro added that he plans to report the crime to the International Criminal Court. Authorities blamed the FARC group for the attack.

Videos of the aftermath of the terrorist attack have surfaced on social media. The footage shows overturned cars and the crushed roof of a bus.

2 Good catch, mossomo — thank you. I was focussed on the wannabe assassin, and missed that. Added a quick term search to the post — we last had anything about FARC in late 2025.
