Landslide at Unlicensed Gold Mine in Colombia Kills 13, Injures Seven
A slope collapse, reportedly caused by mining activity, has claimed multiple lives and left several injured in the Narino region of southwest Colombia.
Thirteen people have been killed and seven others injured after a landslide struck an unlicensed gold mine in the Narino department of southwest Colombia. The incident, which involved a significant slope collapse, is believed to have been triggered by the mining activity itself.
The tragedy unfolded in a region known for its informal mining operations. Among those who lost their lives were four members of an indigenous family, according to witness accounts from the area.
Narino, situated in Colombia's southwest, is a department where illegal mining often poses substantial risks to workers and the environment due to a lack of proper safety regulations and oversight. The instability of the terrain, exacerbated by unregulated excavation, frequently contributes to such dangerous incidents.
Authorities have initiated an investigation into the collapse to ascertain the full extent of the circumstances and to address the broader issue of unlicensed mining operations in the region.
