Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused Ecuador of bombing its territory after authorities found an explosive device near the two countries' border. The Ecuadorean counterpart quickly denied the allegation, which comes amid escalating tensions between the neighbors.
Speaking during a cabinet meeting, Petro said a bomb had been discovered near the frontier, adding that the incident would be investigated but suggesting the evidence pointed to Ecuadorian forces rather than armed groups operating in the region.
