Explosive Diplomatic Clash: Unexploded Bomb Straddling Colombia-Ecuador Border
Tensions rise as an undetonated 500-pound bomb dropped by Ecuador's military lands on a Colombian coca crop, sparking a cross-border diplomatic dispute.
The discovery of an unexploded bomb near the Colombia-Ecuador border has led to a diplomatic clash between the two South American neighbors. The remnants of a 500-pound undetonated bomb, dropped by the Ecuadorian army, fell onto a coca crop located in Colombian territory, raising concerns and accusations from both sides.
The incident occurred in the remote region of Putumayo, a province that straddles the two countries. Colombia's government has accused Ecuador of violating its sovereignty by allowing the bomb to cross the border, while Ecuador has maintained that the incident was an accident and that it is working to resolve the issue diplomatically.
