A group of Farc rebels has been arrested by the Colombian army, after an ambush on troops left 15 soldiers dead.
Over 70 rebels attacked 26 soldiers who were guarding an oil pipeleine near the country’s border with Venezuela.
The Colombian government is currently in talks with Farc to end the conflict; however President Juan Manuel Santos has said the army will respond strongly, while the talks should continue as normal.
"These are the instructions to our forces: don't stop shooting for even a moment until we reach the end of this conflict," he said.
"All of Colombia must work for peace precisely so that incidents like those that occurred in the last 24 hours never happen again."
