A Spanish military helicopter has crashed in rugged terrain in Haiti, the United Nations (UN) has said, killing all four crew members on board.
The crash happened at 1030 local time (1430 GMT) on Friday.
The crew of a helicopter sent to the area saw "enormous damage" at the crash site, a UN spokesman said.
The helicopter went down in rough terrain 50km (30 miles) southeast of the capital, Port-au-Prince, near the border with the Dominican Republic.
The four soldiers on board the helicopter were part of the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti (Minustah).
Spain has about 450 soldiers in Haiti helping with aid and reconstruction after the devastating earthquake on 12 January, that the Haitian government says killed about 230,000 people.
