A young woman was killed and eight more civilians on Wednesday were wounded by landmines allegedly planted by FARC guerrillas in the northwestern department of Antioquia.
Santiago Londoño, the government secretary of Antioquia, said the group stepped into the minefield near a school in the Briceño municipality located in the northern part of the department.
The secretary attributed the deaths to the 36th Front of the FARC.
