A major military plane crash in Colombia on March 23, 2026, has become one of the deadliest aviation disasters in the country’s recent history.

The aircraft, a Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport plane, crashed shortly after takeoff from Puerto Leguízamo in the southern Amazon region. It was carrying around 125–128 people, mostly soldiers, along with crew and police personnel.

Tragedy after takeoff

According to early reports, the plane experienced problems during its initial climb. It failed to gain proper altitude, struck obstacles near the end of the runway, and crashed into dense jungle just a short distance from the airport.

The impact triggered a large fire, worsened by onboard ammunition exploding after the crash, which made rescue operations more difficult.

Casualties and rescue efforts

At least 66 people were killed, with dozens injured and several initially reported missing.

Rescue operations were complicated by the remote jungle location. Local residents were among the first to help, transporting injured survivors—sometimes on motorcycles—before military teams arrived.

Investigation and response

Authorities have ruled out an attack and say the cause of the crash is still under investigation.

The disaster has sparked political debate in Colombia, with President Gustavo Petro criticizing delays in modernizing the country’s aging military aircraft fleet.
