El Salvador's president warns Haitian gangs after four military personnel captured
President Nayib Bukele warned Haitian gangs of severe action following the abduction of four Salvadoran air force personnel near Port-au-Prince.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has warned Haitian criminal groups of military action following the abduction of four Salvadoran Air Force technicians in Haiti. The personnel were ambushed on Sunday by armed men while returning in an armored vehicle from a market near Port-au-Prince.
Bukele stated on social media that an operation has been launched to locate the missing crew, emphasizing that they were non-combatants. He cautioned that a recent raid was "nothing" compared to the response gangs would face if all hostages were not released unharmed. Salvadoran personnel form part of ongoing international efforts to assist Haitian authorities in restoring order amid rampant gang violence.
