Colombian Plane Crash Kills 15 Near Venezuela Border
A small aircraft carrying 15 people, including a Colombian lawmaker, has crashed near the Venezuela border, killing everyone on board.
A plane with 15 people on board, including a member of Colombia’s parliament, crashed near the country’s border with Venezuela, aviation authorities said.
Colombia’s civil aviation authority confirmed that all passengers and crew were killed in the accident, describing it as a fatal crash with no survivors.
The aircraft had earlier been reported missing, prompting search operations that later confirmed the wreckage and the crash site.
Officials said the victims included both passengers and flight crew, and emergency teams were deployed once the plane’s location was identified.
Authorities announced that a formal investigation has been launched to determine the exact cause of the crash.
Air incidents in remote border regions of Colombia often present challenges for search and rescue teams due to difficult terrain and limited access.
Colombia’s aviation authority has previously stressed the importance of technical inspections and flight monitoring, particularly for smaller aircraft operating regional routes.
Officials said no further details on the flight route or possible causes of the crash are available yet, adding that more information will be released after technical and field investigations are completed.
