Col. William Arcos, of the Arauca Police Force, said that the helicopter was seen over a village of the Colombian department. The chopper allegedly entered further into Colombian territory, DPA reported. . "A Venezuelan helicopter gunship coming from that country flew near the military detachment we have in (the village of) Caracol," the official reported. According to Arcos, the helicopter flew for several minutes over the territory of Arauca and later entered the Venezuelan territory. In January, the Colombian government sent a protest note related to the flight of a Venezuelan helicopter over the city of Arauca. Caracas denied the claims. |
