Colombian authorities blamed the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) for an attack with explosives on Wednesday against a Colombia-Venezuela gas pipeline, official sources reported.
The attack took place near the Maicao municipality, in La Guajira department (northeast Colombia), a few kilometers away from the Venezuelan border, hitting a gas pipeline transporting gas from that area to Zulia state, west Venezuela, DPA reported.
Cira Ortiz, leader of a Wayúu indigenous community, told El Espectador de Bogotá newspaper that the attack took place near the houses of the natives in the bordering region of La Guajira, Colombia. She did not rule out massive evacuation in the region.
Additionally, some 300,000 inhabitants of the Nariño department (southeast Colombia) were hit by power outages after five attacks against conduction towers attributed to the FARC.
The Colombian government and the FARC have been holding peace talks in Cuba for a year; but conflicts continue.
