Officials of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) destroyed a facility of Colombian Armed Drug Trafficking Terrorist groups (TANCOL), located in the Semprún municipality of Zulia state.

Through his account on the Twitter social network, the Strategic Operational Commander of the FANB, Domingo Hernández Lárez, explained that in these facilities were found 1,200 kilograms of gunpowder, 700 detonators, 130 explosive traps with shrapnel and six mortar grenades.
