BOGOTA: An incessant rain-triggered landslide has claimed at least 17 people on Sunday in south-western Colombia, officials say.
Five others sustained injuries while several houses were destroyed in the town of Rosas in the Cauca region.
The landslide occurred after days of torrential rains hit the region and authorities are continuing to search the rubble, a report in BBC said.
Meanwhile, Colombian President Iván Duque visited the town.
Landslides are common in the Latin American country, especially during the rainy season.
