BOGOTA, Colombia (AA) - The Colombian army has killed 10 former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), it said on Sunday.

Ex-FARC members, including four women, were killed in a helicopter-backed operation in the town of San Vicente del Caguan, in the Caqueta administrative region.

A large amount of arms and ammunition were also seized during the operation against the guerilla organization that signed a peace treaty with the government in 2016.

Some members, however, reject the deal and continue to operate in remote areas of the country.​​​​​​​
