Bogota, March 17 (Xinhua) — At least 27 people have been killed in bombings near the Colombia-Ecuador border, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on Tuesday.

"The bombings on the Colombia-Ecuador border were apparently not carried out by armed groups, which lack air power, or by Colombian security forces. I did not give such an order," President X wrote on social media.

He added that there is no reliable information about who carried out the shelling. According to G. Petro, the bombs fell near families, "many of whom decided to peacefully replace coca cultivation with legal agricultural crops."

For his part, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa denied the allegations of attacks on Colombian territory. "President Petro, your statements are untrue. We operate on our territory, not yours," he wrote in X, emphasizing that operations against "narco-terrorism" are conducted exclusively within Ecuador. –0–
