Drone captures devastation from Colombia landslide that killed 14
Drone footage captured the scale of destruction in Colombia after a landslide buried homes and killed and injured dozens of residents.
At least 14 people were killed and 35 injured in central Colombia on Tuesday, the country's disaster management agency said.
The incident in Dosquebradas, close to the city of Pereira, followed heavy rains in the surrounding coffee-growing province.
Authorities evacuated dozens of nearby homes as the Otun river overflowed.
Landslides are common in Colombia due to the mountainous terrain, frequent heavy rains and poor or informal construction of houses.
The country's most recent large landslide disaster was in the city of Mocoa in 2017, when over 320 people were killed.
