On the 18th, a Haitian armed gang ambushed an armored car suppressing gang forces near the capital Port-au-Prince, causing 4 Salvadoran soldiers to disappear. US Permanent Representative to the United Nations Michael Waltz said at a meeting on Haiti held by the Security Council on the 19th that an armored car was attacked while returning to the base after carrying out a mission, and that the armed men “fired hundreds of bullets and used explosives.” After the vehicle was attacked and caught fire, the four Salvadoran soldiers on board lost contact after jumping out of the vehicle to escape. The Salvadoran military reported that the troops had tried many times to enter the area where the incident occurred from the ground and air, but they were blocked by intense exchanges of fire and poor local security conditions, and the Salvadoran military helicopter involved in the search was also attacked. The search is still ongoing.
