[Colombia] Explosions/Remote violence: Grenade

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 1, 2025, unidentified individuals on a motorcycle threw a low-intensity explosive device at a waste collection company in Neiva, Colombia, causing roof damage but no injuries. FARC dissidents are suspected of conducting the attack as part of an extortion campaign.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and part of a broader pattern of extortion targeting logistics companies, similar attacks could disrupt local waste management and potentially other commercial operations in the Huila department.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional attacks on logistics or commercial infrastructure in Neiva and surrounding Huila department
• Track whether this incident represents escalation in FARC dissident extortion activities targeting businesses in the region
