Ex-politician and mayoral candidate Alfonso Puerto was assassinated in Colombia, per the Bogotá Post. The killing occurred amid escalating political tensions in the capital.

De la Espriella ordered temporary militarization of Cúcuta, a border city near Bogotá, as security concerns grow across the region, The City Paper notes. This move follows recent unrest and criminal activity.

National museum returns to exhibit pieces removed by government following court order, EFE reports. The return marks a significant moment in cultural restitution after legal battles over artifacts.
