March 17 (Reuters) - Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro said on Tuesday that bombings which took place on the border with Ecuador have left 27 charred bodies, as his Ecuadorean counterpart, Daniel Noboa, said his country was carrying out bombings in its own territory against drug traffickers.

“I didn’t give that order,” Petro said on X, adding the bombings were not carried out by Colombian security forces.

“Presdient Petro, your declarations are false, we are acting in our territory, not yours,” Noboa posted on X earlier on Tuesday, after Petro suggested in comments on Monday night that Ecuador had deployed the bombs.
