> At least 13 people were killed when a plane carrying tourists crashed into a field in Peru, local authorities said. The aircraft had departed from near the city of Ica. Nazca’s municipal government said it was conducting a sightseeing flight over the Nazca Lines. The ancient desert geoglyphs, created by Peru’s Indigenous inhabitants, depict animals that are best viewed from the air or from observation towers.
