Landslide at a gold mine in Colombia claims several lives
Published
A serious accident has occurred in southwestern Colombia, where a landslide struck a gold mine in the municipality of Santa Barbara de Iscuande. According to authorities, at least nine people have died in the accident.
Rescue efforts in the area began immediately after the accident. Local authorities and rescue teams are still searching for potential survivors trapped under the landslide, but difficult conditions and unstable terrain are complicating the search.
The area where the mine is located is known for its challenging terrain. Landslides are relatively common in the region, especially during heavy rains, which can make the soil highly unstable.
So far, there is no detailed information on whether other people were at the mine at the time of the accident or how many people are still missing. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as the rescue operation progresses.
