At least 34 people were killed Monday when a Colombian military plane carrying 125 people crashed in the south of the country, according to local media.

The Hercules C-130 plane with 114 army personnel and 11 crew on board crashed just after taking off from Puerto Leguizamo, Putumayo.

Twenty-one people remain missing, reports said.

President Gustavo Petro said earlier that the cause of the incident is unknown.
