Bogota, Colombia – Search and rescue teams in Colombia are searching for a passenger plane carrying 15 passengers that went missing near the eastern border with Venezuela. Two crew members were among the passengers, which included a Colombian congressional representative and a candidate running in the upcoming elections, according to local officials and media reports. “The corresponding protocols have been activated, and we have already initiated PMU,” added Rojas, referring to the “Unified Command Post” set up to respond to emergencies. The plane disappeared in a remote region characterised by dense jungle, complicating search-and-rescue efforts. Among the passengers was Diogenes Quintero, a lower house lawmaker who holds a seat specially reserved for conflict victims.
