Landslides have occurred in different parts of Colombia following persistent heavy rain events in some areas, according to reports on Tuesday, December 6.

One of these landslides struck a passenger bus in the town of Pueblo Rico, Risaralda, killing at least 34 people, including children.

The death toll may increase as rescue workers continue to search for survivors under the debris.

The bus, which was traveling from Southern Colombia to the northwest part of the country, was only one of the several vehicles where its passengers were trapped under the massive avalanche consisting of trees and Earth in the province of Risaralda.

Initial reports indicated that the bus was carrying 25 passengers and two drivers.

Meanwhile, latest reports say there were around at least 30 passengers on board.
