No references found | The locals were taken to shelters in Pasto, the capital of Narino department on the border with Ecuador, after authorities put the volcano -- the most active in Colombia -- on red alert to signal an imminent or ongoing eruption. Five children were among those killed in the attack on the Awa Indian group at two houses in the Gran Rosario reserve, which lies about 80km inland from the port of Tumaco in Narino state. The report said the largest mass displacements have occurred in the departments of Cauca, Narino, and Putumayo, in the southeast on the borders with Ecuador and Peru, and they particularly affect indigenous communities. |
