Haiti's President Jovenel Moïse has been killed and his wife injured in an attack on their home in the nation's capital, Port-au-Prince.

The interim Prime Minister M Claude Joseph says unidentified gunmen stormed the property.

He has called for calm and declared a state of emergency nationwide.

Moïse had led Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the world, since 2017 but had faced widespread protests demanding his resignation.

The nation's recent history has been plagued by coups, political instability and widespread gang violence.
