Colombia's Armed Forces conducted an airstrike in the rural area of the Guaviare department that killed 20 alleged members of the Carolina Ramírez structure, a dissident group linked to the now-defunct FARC. [^1]

Among those killed was alias Tigre or Pintado, identified as the commander of the Carolina Ramírez structure and one of Ivan Mordisco's most trusted men. [^2]

During the operation, authorities captured five alleged members of the structure and rescued two minors who were present in the camp. [^3]

The airstrike reflects a shift in security policy by the new government, which is distancing itself from the 'Total Peace' policy of former President Gustavo Petro in favor of a greater military offensive. [^4]

Forensic identification following Operation Amón near El Retorno confirmed that three of the ten people killed were children, aged 15 and 16. [^5]

President Abelardo de la Espriella announced that Operation Azarías in Guaviare resulted in the deaths of 20 members of the Carolina Ramírez structure, with five captured and two minors recovered. [^6]

Reporting attributes 42 minor deaths to the Iván Duque administration and 62 minor deaths to the Gustavo Petro administration in bombing operations. [^7]

The author recommends a doctrine of double caution requiring higher authorization thresholds and mandatory reassessment immediately before weapons are released in regions known for child recruitment. [^8]
