In the Huila department of Colombia, authorities reported that suspected Farc dissidents set fire to a cargo truck along a rural road between the municipalities of Hobo, and Gigante.
The incident occurred on a stretch of Route 45, where the vehicle was completely destroyed by flames. Local officials confirmed that the attack took place amid ongoing clashes in the area, which also resulted in the neutralization of a field commander linked to the armed group.
According to reports from regional media, the act is part of a broader pattern of intimidation and violence attributed to dissident factions operating in the region, particularly those aligned with the structure known as Hernando González Acosta.
No injuries were reported in the truck burning, but the destruction of the vehicle disrupted local transit and raised concerns about the safety of transport routes used for both civilian and commercial purposes.
The event underscores the persistent insecurity in parts of southern Colombia, where illegal armed groups continue to exert influence through targeted attacks and coercion of civilian populations.
Investigations into the incident are underway, with authorities working to identify those responsible and assess the full scope of the violence in the corridor between Hobo and Gigante.
