The Colombian Navy seized a cargo of 70,000 fusil bullets in river Orinoco, on the Colombian-Venezuelan border on its way to Front 16 of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), authorities reported.

The ammunition of different calibers and of Russian and Venezuelan origin was carried on a boat at the level of Puerto Ayacucho, the capital city of Venezuelan Amazonas state, but on waters under the jurisdiction of the Colombian department of Vichada, DPA reported.

During the clashes with FARC the navy captured two rebels. Last May 30, over 500,000 bullets of Indonesian origin were seized in the Colombian jungle. However, according to AFP, the new seizure would involve Venezuelan ammunition.

Recently the Colombian army found also 985 military camouflaged uniforms made in Venezuela in the Colombian department of Vichada.
