A drone attack on a military base in northern Colombia has killed three soldiers and wounded at least 16, the country's armed forces said. The Colombian military said in a statement on Saturday that the attack hit a base in Santa Rosa del Sur, a small town in the foothills of the San Lucas mountain range. Authorities have not said who carried out the strike, the latest in a series of attacks on security forces as violence rises across rural parts of the country. Footage shared on social media showed clouds of smoke rising from the base after three explosions, and soldiers taking cover in shelters made of sandbags. "Those who were behind this attack will have nowhere to hide," President Abelardo de la Espriella wrote on X. "Every attack against our soldiers strengthens our resolve to defend Colombia."

At least four people were killed when a lorry laden with explosives detonated in Tolima province, western Colombia, on Sunday, a local official has said. A two-month-old baby girl was among the dead, Tolima governor Adriana Magali Matiz wrote in a post on X. The lorry exploded near a military base in the town of Planadas, damaging a nearby hospital and several other buildings. It is not yet clear who was behind the bombing, but armed criminal groups have recently stepped up attacks against the security forces in what appears to be retaliation for an offensive ordered against them by the new right-wing President, Abelardo de la Espriella. De la Espriella was sworn into office in August after campaigning on a tough-on-crime platform.

Luis Carlos Rúa arrived at the 2026 TIME100 Next Gala dressed in his full white elephant costume, which he later shed in favor of an all-black suit.

On the latest "Stress Test": Is this really Trump's closing message? With the midterms less than a week away, the closing stretch of the campaign is full of bad omens for MAGA abroad and peak weirdness at home. In Serbia and Brazil, Trump allies suffered stinging and surprising defeats driven in part by energized voter turnout. An anti-corruption youth movement spearheaded the surge in Serbia, while Brazil saw a dramatic comeback for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who defeated staunch Trump ally Flávio Bolsonaro. "Both of the losing candidates, Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vučić in Serbia, wrapped themselves around Donald Trump," co-host David Corn says on this episode of . "So we see in Serbia and Hungary authoritarian figures who try to emulate and ride the Trump wave being tossed out of office. And in [South America], where we've seen a right-wing tide they beat it back" in Brazil. There's a growing sense that voters worldwide are fed up with government grift. As David puts it: "Corruption seems to be the point of the spear." Meanwhile, the Israeli election--where the final results are still uncertain--also was something of a referendum on Trump, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempting to retain power by promoting his close ties to Trump. Back home, former President Barack Obama and Trump were each on the campaign trail in closing sprints. Obama is getting spicy, hitting Trump on his tacky taste and alleged corruption. Trump, meanwhile, has been obsessively commenting on physical anatomy--specifically "asses"--in one of the stranger closing arguments in modern American political history. "This has to be, like, the definition of being off message," co-host Garrison Hayes observes. Trump's fixation on rear-ends extended to rapper Nicki Minaj, who appeared at a rally, where Trump asked her to stand and extolled her derriere, fueling the silly rumor she might be named press secretary after the brief tenure of Katie "Half a Scaramucci" Zacharia."It For Garrison, the gambit is all-too familiar: "Here we are in the closing moments of this midterm election, and the way that the Trump administration has decided to utilize a Black person in order to, I imagine, appeal to Black voters is offensive.
