El Salvador-backed air assault destroys Haiti gang headquarters
According to Fox News, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced that his country's military participated in an air assault against the headquarters of the '400 Mawozo' gang near Port-au-Prince. The operation, supported by Salvadoran troops and Haitian police, was conducted in response to the abduction of four Salvadoran personnel during a gang ambush on October 18. Bukele shared footage of the strikes, describing them as a response to the gang's criminal activities, including kidnapping and weapons trafficking. The Prime Minister of Haiti expressed gratitude for El Salvador's commitment to fighting the gangs. Reports suggest that approximately 20 people may have been killed in the operation, though the fate of the four missing Salvadoran personnel remains unknown.
