Oil trucks were targeted in a suspected FARC attack in central Colombia Tuesday morning, reported local media.

Preliminary reports said two trucks were damaged with no casualties.

Bomb squad police found and defused an improvised explosive device at the scene of the attack.

It was the eighth attack on Emerald Energy trucks in the past six months.
