After a national security council meeting that began at 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT), Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced the deployment of public forces along the Venezuelan border. From Bogotá, preparations are under way for a possible massive influx of Venezuelan refugees following the US attacks in Caracas and other areas of the country.
The region holds its breath amid further reports of the alleged capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, as announced by President Donald Trump.
Petro has repeatedly called for peace and dialogue since the first explosions were reported in Caracas.
Colombia and Venezuela share more than 2,000 km of land border - and throughout history, economic and security crises in both nations have driven millions to seek refuge on either side.
It is an unprecedented moment for Venezuela that will have direct consequences in more countries - Colombia is on the front line.
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio anticipates no further action against Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, says a Republican senator.
Mike Lee confirmed Venezuelan President Maduro's arrest, to stand trial on criminal charges in the US, following a phone call with Rubio.
"He [Rubio] anticipates no further action in Venezuela now that Maduro is in US custody," says Senator Lee.
Lee adds that the US strikes were "deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant".
Earlier, Lee said in a post on X: "I look forward to learning what, if anything, might constitutionally justify this action in the absence of a declaration of war or authorization for the use of military force."
