Colombian leader requests investigations into corpses washing ashore
Petro shared images and videos on social media showing corpses found in La Guajira, a northern Colombian region bordering Venezuela near the Caribbean Sea, where the US has conducted anti-narcotics operations.
“Bodies found in the far north of La Guajira. We await identification by forensic medicine,” Petro wrote. He requested that forensic specialists determine the identities of the victims and coordinate with Venezuela's prosecutor's office.
“They may be deaths from bombing in the sea,” he added.
Reports indicate that the US has carried out at least 22 strikes in the area on vessels suspected of transporting narcotics since September, resulting in at least 87 fatalities. In recent months, US military activity across Latin America has expanded, involving Marines, warships, fighter jets, bombers, submarines, and drones.
