— "At least 10 people have been killed in an operation by the Colombian security forces targeting a group of rebels who rejected the 2016 peace deal.

The joint police and military operation was targeting a man known as Iván Mordisco, who leads a breakaway faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).

Police said they had information that Mordisco was in the camp.

It is not yet clear if he was among those killed in the attack.

Colombian media reports that the Air Force first bombed the camp in the southern Caquetá region before almost 300 soldiers and police moved in.

The operation, dubbed Jupiter, had reportedly been planned for two months."
