At least 17 people have been killed in a stampede during Water Festival celebrations in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
The stampede took place on a bridge leading to a small island in the Tonle Sap river.
A hospital official said 17 bodies were brought in on Monday evening. Police sources reported "many dead".
Large crowds have been celebrating on the final day of the festival, one of the main events in the Cambodian year.
Panic occurred after a concert on Diamond Island, which followed a boat race on the river regarded as a highlight of the festivities.
An eyewitness, soft drink seller So Cheata, told the Associated Press news agency the trouble began when 10 people fell unconscious in the crowd.
The bridge became jammed up with people, some crushed under foot and others falling into the water.
Hundreds of injured lay on the ground afterwards, the eyewitness said.
