At least four people were killed when a lorry laden with explosives detonated in Tolima province, western Colombia, on Sunday, a local official has said.
A two-month-old baby girl was among the dead, Tolima governor Adriana Magali Matiz wrote in a post on X.
The lorry exploded near a military base in the town of Planadas, damaging a nearby hospital and several other buildings.
It is not yet clear who was behind the bombing, but armed criminal groups have recently stepped up attacks against the security forces in what appears to be retaliation for an offensive ordered against them by the new right-wing President, Abelardo de la Espriella.
