Violent clashes in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia have resulted in another death, bringing the total fatalities to six in nearly a week of unrest. The archipelago, home to an indigenous population seeking independence, has been engulfed in turmoil.
The latest fatality occurred during an exchange of fire at a makeshift barricade on the island. A security official, speaking anonymously, disclosed that two others were seriously injured in the confrontation. The incident took place at a blockade in the north of the main island, Kaala-Gomen.
