Children of four, nine, and thirteen years old, as well as an 11-month-old infant, were among those saved.

Seven persons were aboard the Cessna 206 when it issued a mayday call owing to engine trouble on May 1 in the wee hours.

President Gustavo Petro said the discovery of the children followed “arduous searching” by the military.

He tweeted: “After arduous searching by our military, we have found alive the four children who went missing after a plane crash in Guaviare. A joy for the country.”

However, defence ministry sources told local media they have no confirmation they have been found.

Some reports say the children may have been found in a remote location by a boatman and were yet to be reached by officials, who said the president had perhaps been misinformed.
