The Colombian National Army reported the execution of 63 operations targeting illegal armed groups operating in the Arauca department, with a special emphasis on weakening the financial structures of the National Liberation Army (ELN).
Operational actions carried out by the Military Forces in the border region aim to counter illegal financing sources, drug trafficking, and extortion that sustain the activities of organized armed groups in this area.

These military interventions have a direct impact on regional security dynamics, seeking to mitigate risks faced by the civilian population and reducing the logistical capacity of outlaw groups.
Despite operational results reported by military institutions, various social sectors and analysts point out the need to complement military presence with increased social investment and comprehensive guarantees for communities affected by violence.
