A video has begun to circulate on social media showing the seconds before the motor bomb exploded in the Jordan sector of Jamundi near the Pilot Hospital, which left around 15 people injured and several homes damaged, this Friday, November 8 at 6:30 in the morning.

The images captured by security cameras in the area are clear and shocking. In the video, a person with his face covered by a helmet can be seen approaching the motorcycle bomb and, using a device, activating the explosive charge just as a National Police patrol passes by. The explosion affected not only the vehicles that were traveling on the road, but also several nearby homes, whose windows were broken due to the power of the explosion.

The attack, apparently directed against security forces, occurred on the road that connects Jamundí with the municipality of Suárez, in the department of Cauca, an area that has been the target of several violent incidents in recent weeks. In addition to the police patrol, a private vehicle was damaged, although it is reported that there were no fatalities.

Among those affected was councilman Luigi Morales, who was near where the motor bomb was activated. The mayor of Jamundí, Paola Castillo, confirmed that Morales was a victim of the attack since he was about 10 meters away from the explosion, in the company of his wife.

“The police are going to interview the councilman of our municipality, who has been injured (...) The Ombudsman's Office is also taking the testimonies of the other 14 affected people who are receiving medical attention,” Castillo said in a statement given to the media.
