Colombia lifts bombing truce after Farc attack in Cauca
1 hour ago Latin America & Caribbean
Colombia has lifted the suspension of its bombing campaign against Farc rebels, following the death of at least 10 soldiers in a clash with the left-wing guerrilla group.
The military launched a strike against what they call "a strategic Farc rebel position" later on Wednesday, a military source told the BBC.
The Colombian government declared a temporary halt to air strikes in March.
The two sides have been holding peace talks in Havana, Cuba, since 2012.
