BOGOTÁ, Colombia  —Colombians are anxiously awaiting news about four Indigenous children who went missing after a plane crash in the Amazon jungle. The small aircraft, carrying six passengers and a pilot, crashed on May 1 due to an engine failure. While the bodies of the pilot, a guide, and the children's mother were found, there has been no trace of the youngsters.

Initially, there was hope when the Colombian President announced on Twitter that the children were found alive, but he later deleted the tweet, admitting that they were still missing. The nation remains on edge as authorities continue their search efforts.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has deleted a tweet in which he announced the discovery of the missing Indigenous children from the crashed plane, acknowledging that the information could not be confirmed.

The search efforts, led by military personnel and supported by nearby Indigenous communities, are ongoing. Speculations have arisen from various findings, such as a baby bottle and scissors, but none have led to the children. Reports suggested that the children might have been heading to a village by riverboat, but they never arrived. The search continues amidst the uncertainty.
