A state of emergency has been declared in Papua New Guines’s capital, Port Moresby, after at least 15 people lost their lives in rioting.
Prime Minister James Marape addressed the nation, announcing the state of emergency.
Shops and cars have been set ablaze, and supermarkets looted, as tensions rise over a pay cut that sparked the initial unrest.
