Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, FARC dissidents reportedly conducted a drone strike in Filo El Gringo, Norte de Santander, Colombia, injuring five people including suspected ELN members and civilians. The attack caused significant material damage but no fatalities.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Norte de Santander's proximity to the Venezuelan border could amplify concerns about cross-border militant activity if the incident reflects broader armed group coordination.

Watch points

  • Track potential escalation between FARC dissidents and ELN in the region, which could affect border security dynamics
