Tragic Military Plane Crash in Colombia Leaves 66 Dead, Search Continues for Missing Personnel

                                          The site of the crash in Puerto Leguizamo, Putumayo

A Colombian military transport plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Puerto Leguízamo, killing at least 66 people and injuring dozens more. The Hercules C-130 aircraft, carrying 128 passengers—mostly soldiers—went down near the southern border with Peru, erupting into flames and detonating ammunition onboard. Officials confirmed that four military personnel remain missing, prompting ongoing search efforts.

Authorities report no indication of an armed attack, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the disaster. Local residents were among the first to assist, transporting survivors on motorcycles and helping emergency crews reach the remote crash site. The tragedy has sparked renewed calls from President Gustavo Petro to modernize Colombia’s aging military aircraft fleet.
