At least 13 people have died in an explosives attack in western Colombia on Saturday, a police source said, with 17 people wounded.
Octavio Guzmán, the governor of Cauca, said a device was activated while a bus was traveling along the Panamerican Highway in Cajibio.
Dramatic aftermath images show people rushing towards the mangled vehicle hoping to rescue survivors.
