During the military operation, the troops report the recovery of six minors who had been illegally recruited by this criminal structure.

As a result of the military operation that is being carried out in the department of Guaviare, the troops report the arrest of a member of the aforementioned structure, who is injured and subsequently received first aid by a military nurse. Two individuals died in the framework of the aforementioned military operation; the troops report the recovery of six minors who were part of this residual Organized Armed Group; they were put into custody of the authority.
The military operation, carried out through strict adherence to the principles of distinction and precaution in the attack, demonstrates once again the criminal practice of forced recruitment and disregard for humanitarian minimums shown by the GAOr, who set fire to a house where they stored ammunition, weapons and improvised explosive devices, putting the inhabitants at risk and damaging the environment, which constitutes a flagrant violation of International Humanitarian Law.
Seven rifles, four handguns, 36 magazines, two telescopic sights, more than 1,900 cartridges of different calibers, three improvised explosive devices and abundant material of military accessories and communications were found by troops at the site of the operation.
In the area there are constant military operations to protect the inhabitants and continue damaging the criminal structures of the Amazonas Bloc, which plans terrorist operations against citizens and the Military Forces.
