Dozens of people were killed in clashes between more than a dozen tribal groups in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea, with the death toll initially reported at over 50 but later revised to around 26 by the police. The violence has left bodies scattered across fields, roads, and near a river, with as many as 17 tribes involved in the clashes.
