“They are wounds, hemorrhages, burns, closed chest traumas and a compromise in one of the patients with one eye. They are being treated in health centers,” said Duwing Villamizar, of the Civil Defense.

The injured are from San Gil and were on the road doing road maintenance work.

The governor of Santander rejected the fact and convened an urgent security council.

“I totally reject the act perpetrated in the last few minutes on the San Gil-El Socorro road. We are not advancing by instilling terrorism, but with work and dialogue. All my solidarity with the citizens who were injured. I immediately call a Security Council” Mauricio Aguilar said.
