BOGOTA: Four children from an Indigenous community in Colombia were found alive in the country's south on Friday (Jun 9) more than five weeks after the plane they were traveling in crashed
Four children from an Indigenous community in Colombia were found alive in the country's south on Friday more than five weeks after the plane they were traveling in crashed in thick jungle, Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said.
The plane - a Cessna 206 - was carrying seven people on a route between Araracuara, in Amazonas province, and San Jose del Guaviare, a city in Guaviare province, when it issued a mayday alert due to engine failure in the early hours of May 1. Photos shared by Colombia's military showed a group of soldiers with the four children in the middle of the jungle.
Petro initially reported that children had been found on May 17 in a message on Twitter but later deleted the post, saying the information was unconfirmed.
