The Bolivian government has refuted claims by former president Evo Morales that he was the target of an assassination attempt.
Morales alleges that his car was shot at in the Cochabamba region, triggering accusations of an attack against his life.
However, Bolivia's Interior Minister maintains that Morales' convoy fled an anti-drug patrol, leading to an exchange of gunfire with police.
This incident underscores the deep political divide in Bolivia, with Morales and President Luis Arce vying for the leadership of the Movement for Socialism (Mas) party ahead of next year's elections.
