A stampede at a mountaintop fortress popular with tourists in northern Haiti has killed at least 25 people and injured dozens of others.
Municipal authorities in the city of Cap-Haitien in a statement said that Saturday's stampede in Milot "resulted in numerous cases of asphyxiation, trampling and loss of consciousness."
Authorities said dozens of people who attended traditional festivities at the historical site were taken to hospitals while many others were reported missing.
According to preliminary information, "a situation of severe overcrowding, linked in particular to deficiencies in crowd management measures, triggered a stampede."
Police have opened an investigation into the incident.
