Bogotá. Al menos 23 muertos dejaron enfrentamientos entre el ELN, la última guerrilla reconocida en Colombia, y disidencias de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) que se apartaron del acuerdo de paz, en una región fronteriza con Venezuela, informó el ministerio de Defensa este lunes.

“Tenemos hoy 23 muertos que han sido en este momento encontrados” en una zona rural del departamento de Arauca, precisó el viceministro Jairo García tras un consejo de seguridad en la zona, sin especificar si entre las víctimas hay civiles.
