The Colombian military released video on Wednesday of the moment a Colombian military aircraft came under attack and exploded in the northeast part of the country in June.

The Colombia government initially blamed the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) for bringing down the plane.

However, guerrillas from the National Liberation Army (ELN) took responsibility for the attack on Saturday in a message posted on its Twitter account stating that eight soldiers had been killed.
