Bogotá, Mar 23 (EFE).- A Colombian Air Force Hercules C-130 crash on Monday left at least 66 soldiers dead, 57 injured, four missing, and one survivor after the aircraft went down shortly after takeoff with 128 people on board.

Military authorities said the plane was carrying crew members and personnel from the army and police and confirmed that most of the victims belonged to the army, while the injured were evacuated to hospitals in Bogotá and other cities.

Defence officials stated there is no indication of an attack and said the investigation will be thorough, as the crash in a remote jungle area was worsened by an onboard fire and exploding ammunition. (Camera: HANDOUT).
