One minor was killed and four others were wounded in an attack staged by unidentified persons on a police station in northeastern Colombia on Saturday night.
In the attack, the suspects threw a grenade from a motorcycle to the police station located in the local Fundadores neighborhood, resulting in the death of a three-year-old girl, who was walking by with her parents. Her parents and two police officers were wounded, police in Arauca city said.
"The Ombudsman urged illegal armed groups to respect human rights and international humanitarian law, cease indiscriminate attacks and exclude civilians from conflict, particularly children and adolescents," Colombia's Ombudsman's Office has condemned the attack in a statement.
The Ombudsman's Office also requested the competent authorities to advance further investigation to determine those responsible for the attack and strengthen intelligence work to prevent these attacks that directly affect civilians.
Neither the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) nor the National Liberation Army (ELN), the two insurgency groups in Colombia, have claimed responsibility for this attack.
