Last update: an hour ago

Wildfire Crisis in Villa de Leyva: Colombia declared a public calamity as a fast-moving blaze threatened the colonial tourist town in Boyacá, forcing evacuations and damaging at least one hotel; officials said about 290 hectares were affected and firefighting crews used helicopters and thousands of liters of water while winds complicated containment. Heritage Under Pressure in Bogotá: English-style houses in Chapinero were demolished after years of disputes, reigniting concerns over how Bogotá protects historic architecture when permits are granted. Public Health Watch: Colombia reported 58 lab-confirmed yellow fever cases and 27 deaths in 2026, prompting a CDC Level 2 travel notice and renewed calls for travelers to get vaccinated in time. Security and Conflict: Colombia said three soldiers were killed and six injured in attacks in Meta attributed to FARC dissidents, with military operations continuing. Diplomacy & Investment: Vice President Jose Manuel Restrepo led Colombia’s UN General Assembly delegation, aiming to attract foreign investment as part of the government’s growth push. Tech & Cyber: Kaspersky warned of a new malware campaign using torrent downloads disguised as popular films, with victims including Colombia. Business Deal: BeatHub bought out Chile’s BeLive to take full control of Bogotá’s Movistar Arena operator.
