The National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences confirmed this Sunday that the death toll rose to 19, as a result of the terrorist attack carried out last Saturday in the Cajibío area, department of Cauca, in southwestern Colombia.
The attack occurred when a high-powered explosive device was detonated near a bus that was traveling along the Pan-American Highway, which connects the departments of Cauca and Nariño, causing almost total destruction of the vehicle and affecting other private vehicles that circulated in the sector.
Identification work by Legal Medicine continues, given the forensic complexity behind the magnitude of the explosion.
The department of Cauca is going through one of its most critical periods in terms of public order since the signing of the Peace Agreement in 2016.
