The president of Honduras has declared an immediate curfew in a town where 13 people were shot dead on Saturday.
Xiomara Castro described the killings in a pool hall in Choloma as a “brutal and ruthless terrorist attack”.
The victims, who were at a birthday party, were 12 men and one woman.
Separate murders in the northern Sula Valley region brought Saturday’s death toll to at least 20, authorities said, and are thought to be linked to drug-trafficking gangs.
The curfew comes in from 21:00 local time (04:00 BST) to 04:00 from Sunday and will run for at least 15 days.
Castro said the measures were being put in place in response to “the brutal and ruthless terrorist attack by hired killers trained and directed by drug lords” in the Sula Valley.
