Security forces in Colombia say a car bomb has destroyed a police station, killing at least eight people.
The authorities blamed the attack in the south-western state of Cauca on left-wing Farc rebels.
The vehicle exploded just as the town market in Inza was about to open on Saturday morning, killing military soldiers, police and two civilians.
The government and the Farc have been negotiating to end a 50-year war with an estimated 220,000 victims.
The attackers have also fired home-made mortars against the police base, local reports say.
'Demented attack'President Juan Manuel Santos described the episode as a "cowardly" and "irrational".
"What happened in Inza, Cauca, is a demented terrorist attack," he told the Colombian media, blaming the country's biggest rebel group for it.
Authorities identified five military officers and one policemen among the dead. Two civilians were also killed.
The targeted police station collapsed after blasts from the car bomb and several hand-made missiles, officials say.
Farc rebel leaders are currently participating in peace negotiations with the Colombian government in Cuba, after recently agreeing on the second part of their six-point agenda.
Both sides have so far partially agreed on land reform and on a political future for the left-wing group if a peace deal is reached.
The latest round of talks is due to tackle illicit drugs and drug trafficking.
