The local government in Colombia confirmed on the 19th that the death toll in a landslide accident that occurred at an illegal gold mine in the southwestern province of Nariño in the southwestern part of the country rose to 14, and 7 others were injured. Local media reported on the 19th that the accident occurred in a rural area of Nariño province. At the time of the incident, many people were mining in the mining area, and the mountain suddenly collapsed, causing some people to be buried. Gabriel Ocaña, an official of the province's disaster risk management department, told the media that all the buried people have been found, the search and rescue work has been completed, and there are no reports of missing persons. He said that recent factors such as continued heavy rainfall, weak geological conditions, and illegal mining activities in the area have all contributed to this accident.
