Battleedit
A battalion of the Colombian army carried out a surprise attack on the Peruvian Buenos Aires Garrison, as well as civilians who were in that area. The Colombian troops did not expect the civil support for the Peruvian forces, but victory was nevertheless achieved when the expeditionary planes bombed what remained of the garrison, after which the soldiers took prisoners and raised the Colombian flag.[1] Although the attack was carried out without authorization, the victory of the combat served for Colombia to obtain definitive control of the northern zone of the Amazon Trapeze. surrounding the city of Leticia, then controlled by Peruvian forces.[2]
