A helicopter carrying Colombia's President Ivan Duque was struck by multiple bullets on Friday. Duque denounced the "cowardly attack" and said he was not frightened "by violence or acts of terrorism". The incident took place while the presidential helicopter was flying through Colombia's Catatumbo region, home to leftist armed group National Liberation Army (ELN), towards the city of Cucuta.
