Armed gangs in Haiti have intensified their attacks on law enforcement and diplomatic corpses, recently targeting U.S. Embassy vehicles and a United Nations helicopter in Port-au-Prince. The violence marks yet another significant escalation as a coalition of gangs threatens diplomatic and humanitarian operations in the country.
Two armored vehicles belonging to the U.S. Embassy were fired upon by members of the criminal groups "Mawozo 400" and "Chen Mechan" this week. While no injuries were reported, the embassy vehicles were seemingly intentionally targeted.
