A Colombian Army M1117 Pegaso 4x4 armoured security vehicle (ASV) was destroyed on 15 February by an improvised explosive device (IED).
Three Colombian soldiers were killed and two more wounded as part of the IED attack that was claimed by the National Liberation Army (Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional, ELN) guerrilla group in Sardinata, Norte de Santander. Two ELN fighters activated the IED charge as the M1117 Pegaso went over a culvert, according to a Colombian Army statement.
The M1117 Pegaso was part of the No.5 Mechanized Cavalry Group, which deployed to provide security for a medical assistance mission to the town of San Martin de Loba, about 30 miles from the border with Venezuela.
