El Salvador's military strikes a compound in Haiti it says belongs to the 400 Mawozo gang
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced on X that Salvadoran forces destroyed the headquarters of Haiti's 400 Mawozo gang near Port-au-Prince in a ground and air attack. The strike is El Salvador's first military action against a Haitian target since deploying roughly 2,000-2,500 troops last month to secure the release of four abducted Salvadoran technicians. Casualty figures and the extent of damage have not been officially confirmed.
