A new chapter in tensions between Colombia and Ecuador has unfolded, this time due to attacks on the border between the two countries.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated on Tuesday that it has been confirmed that the unexploded bomb found on the border with Ecuador belonged to the neighboring country's army, and that his government will send a diplomatic protest note.

Petro's statement comes amid a trade war between the two countries, initiated in January by Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, who announced the imposition of a 30% "security tax" on Colombian imports, citing alleged inaction by the neighboring government in the fight against drug trafficking along the border.

👉Colombia responded with tariffs on 73 products and cut off electricity supplies to Ecuador, prompting the Noboa government to increase the tariff it charged for transporting Colombian crude oil through one of its largest pipelines. Furthermore, effective March 1st, the tariff was raised to 50%.
