At least five people have been killed in a stampede at a rap concert in Algeria’s capital, Algiers, medical officials say.
At least 20 others were injured as thousands gathered at the entrance of a stadium to see a local rap star, Abderraouf Derradji, who is best known as “Soolking”.
Details are sketchy about how the stampede broke out.
The injured were evacuated to a nearby hospital.
The concert, which went ahead, was televised live on an Algerian music Canal Algérie.
Some tweeters posted clips from the concert:
