Of the total number of people killed, two of them were indigenous community members belonging to the Awá people and who had been reported missing since August 14 by Colombian authorities.
The other two were killed near the site of the first of the two attacks, Indepaz said in a statement.
The organization recalled that the First Carolina Ramirez Front, the Bolivarian Border Commandos, as well as other local gangs are active in the area. The Sixth Division of the Colombian Army is responsible for maintaining security in this jurisdiction.
This is the 73rd massacre so far in 2022, according to Indepaz.
