A Colombian military transport plane crashed on takeoff in the southern department of Putumayo, killing at least eight people and injuring 83, according to Governor Jhon Gabriel Molina.
The accident involved a C-130 Hercules aircraft and occurred in Puerto Leguízamo, a town in Putumayo department, bordering Peru.
The cause of the crash has not yet been determined, Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez said, adding that there is no indication of an attack by criminal groups.
The plane was in airworthy condition and the crew was “duly qualified,” he said.
