Salvadoran troops launch their first major operation against gangs in Haiti's Cul-de-Sac plain

Salvadoran troops on Monday launched their first major operation in the Cul-de-Sac plain, northeast of Port-au-Prince, against the Chen Mechan and 400 Mawozo gangs, which are blamed for the disappearance of four Salvadoran soldiers, according to EFE as cited by Infobae, 20minutos, Acento and RTVE. Around ten armored vehicles and soldiers with assault rifles advanced in the Santo and Croix-des-Missions sectors; according to the Haitian press, at least ten gang members were killed in the clashes, and Infobae notes that no casualties among the Salvadoran forces, the Haitian National Police or civilians have been officially reported. The Haitian National Police announced a broad operation in the area with support from the UN-mandated Gang Suppression Force, which according to its statement aims "to eliminate toll checkpoints, put an end to kidnapping attempts and to the abuse the population suffers at the hands of terrorist bandits in the Cul-de-Sac plain" (our translation). President Nayib Bukele shared on X a video of Salvadoran armored vehicles in Haiti accompanied only by El Salvador's flag; Diario Libre notes the video does not say where or when it was filmed. The whereabouts of the four Salvadorans remain officially unconfirmed.
