Colombia's National Museum resumes exhibiting pieces removed by the government following a court order, EFE reports. The ruling mandates the return of all stolen cultural items seized during political upheaval.

President De la Espriella ordered temporary militarization of Cúcuta, per The City Paper Bogotá. The move follows recent security concerns along the border region amid escalating regional tensions.

Bogotá's crime crackdown has resulted in 172 arrests, including individuals linked to organized criminal groups, as reported by The City Paper Bogotá. Officials are implementing aggressive measures across major urban centers.
