Four people were killed and around 100 families were left homeless following a landslide in the Narino department of southern Colombia, according to Xinhua.
"The heavy rains have caused emergencies in several towns, but the most devastating was in El Encano, near Pasto, where the landslide claimed four lives and caused significant damage," said Luis Alfonso Escobar, governor of Narino, on the social media platform X.
The landslide affected over 400 families, rendering several roads impassable and causing the collapse of three aqueducts.
Authorities are working to clear debris from roads and supply drinking water with tanker trucks, the governor reported.
In La Cruz, 100 families were also affected by flooding, and three pedestrian bridges were destroyed.
Escobar added that 24 towns have requested machinery to clear roads and address the landslides.
