LA PLAYA DE BELÉN, NORTH SANTANDER, COLOMBIA – MARCH 20, 2024 Leidy Lázaro Pava, 38, was walking along the roadside with her equally aged boyfriend Lenin Guerrero. She was looking for a cell phone signal, so she also went to the grass off the roadway. To her great misfortune, she stepped on an anti-tank mine. The blast literally tore her to pieces and she died on the spot. Her boyfriend’s legs were blown off, but he survived.
