Five civilian injuries were reported by police, as relayed in El Informador’s 14 October report published at 08:20:34 Colombia time (UTC−05:00). This is a publication cutoff, not a known time of the police count. Tu Razón del Valle calls the same toll preliminary. The final toll and independent medical confirmation remain unavailable.
El Informador and Tu Razón del Valle are separate publications; both relay the Valle police account. They therefore represent two publisher families, not two independent confirmations of the underlying claims. Both describe drones, five civilian injuries and building damage. El Informador dates the attack to 13 October; Tu Razón’s 14 October article says the previous Tuesday. It supplies no reliable publication clock.
