Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry has landed in Puerto Rico after apparently being unable to return to his country.
According to local media, he arrived in the capital San Juan on Tuesday after flying from the US state of New Jersey.
For the past few days, Mr Henry's whereabouts had been unknown following a visit to Kenya.
Violence in Haiti has spiralled in his absence - with armed gangs trying to take over the international airport to stop him from landing.
Their leader, Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier, has demanded the prime minister stand down - warning that the country is headed "straight for a civil war that will lead to genocide" otherwise.
