At least 11 members of a group formed by former FARC rebels who reject a peace deal were killed in combat with soldiers in Colombia's jungle south, the army said on Tuesday.
The confrontation in a rural area of Puerto Leguizamo municipality, in the province of Putumayo near the border with Ecuador and Peru, took place on Monday.
The region has extensive cultivations of coca, the base ingredient in cocaine, and drug-producing laboratories, security sources say.
