AT LEAST 18 people have died after a drone attack on a police helicopter and a car bomb in Colombia.
A vehicle filled with explosives blew up near a military aviation school earlier, killing five people and injuring more than 30, cops confirmed.
Meanwhile, authorities said at least 12 died in a drone attack on a helicopter carrying personnel to an area in Antioquia in northern Colombia.
Antioquia governor Andres Julian said a drone struck the helicopter as it flew over coca leaf crops.
The attacks have been linked to different dissident factions of the now non-existent Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) group.
Following the horrific assaults, the president and and the military leadership announced they would lead a security council meeting to “define additional protection measures” for residents.
