Three minors lost their lives in the Guaviare bombing of a FARC dissident camp, according to Colombian media reports. President Abelardo de la Espriella ordered Operation AMON in El Retorno, targeting the faction of commander "Calarcá". The dead children were forcibly recruited, which obliges the state to protect them under international law.
