President Duque's Helicopter Struck By Targeted Shooting

COLOMBIA
  • A helicopter carrying Colombia's President Ivan Duque and others was struck by multiple bullets in an attack on Friday, he said in a video message.
  • The incident took place while the president's helicopter was flying through Colombia's Catatumbo region toward the city of Cucuta, capital of the country's Norte de Santander province, Duque said.
  • As well as Duque, the helicopter was carrying other officials including Defense Minister Diego Molano, Interior Minister Daniel Palacios, and governor of Norte de Santander Silvano Serrano.
  • None were hurt in the attack, described as 'cowardly' by the President. Colombian authorities on Saturday offered a $600,000 reward for information.
