At least seven people, including a child, were killed in a landslide in Colombia triggered by days of heavy rains, authorities said Saturday.
About 16 others were injured and another 13 people were still missing after a landslide crushed houses in the northwestern city of Medellin, some 450 km northwest of the country's capital, civil defense officials said.
Rescue workers have arrived to search for survivors through mud and wrecked houses. More casualties are expected as local residents were asleep when the landslide happened.
Flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rains have left at least 16 dead and over 100,000 displaced across Colombia since the rainy season began in mid-April.
