A large explosion has killed at least eight people in the Colombian capital, Bogotá, the country’s defence ministry says.
The blast happened outside a school for police cadets in the south of the city.
Thirty-eight people were reportedly injured in the blast which happened at 09:30 local time (14:30 GMT).
Images show a charred vehicle in front of the General Santander school, which is located in a working-class area of Bogotá.
Among those injured are a Panamanian and an Ecuadorean national.
Witnesses say a car entered the school compound and when it was stopped by guards at a checkpoint the driver accelerated and hit a wall, at which point the car exploded.
They say that it happened just after a ceremony at which officers were being promoted to a higher rank.
The driver of the car is believed to be among the dead.
Colombian President Iván Duque, who was in the west of the country at the time of what he said was an “attack”, tweeted that he would return to the capital immediately.
