Argentina: Adulterated cocaine has killed at least 16 people and left 50 in hospitals around the Buenos Aires region of Argentina, the authorities say.
Investigators believe the illegal drug was either laced with some kind of poison or “cut” with another substance.
The regional security minister called on any users who had bought cocaine in the past 24 hours to throw it away.
Reports suggest the drugs were bought in the same shantytown, and nine arrests have been made.
