Authorities say a small plane has crashed in a rural area of Norte de Santander province in northeast Colombia, killing all 15 people on board.

The plane, a Beechcraft 1900 turboprop, was traveling between the cities of Cúcuta and Ocaña. Ocaña is in the Catatumbo region, a mountainous zone where the Colombian government has been ratcheting up a conflict with the country’s most powerful armed group, the National Liberation Army, or the ELN.

The NTSB said the aircraft had difficulty seeing each other before the crash.
