#  Explosives laden drone kills police

 Written on 19 August 2025.

An armed drone launched by a government task force failed to detonate and came down in an empty field. Local residents retrieved the aircraft and brought it to a police SWAT base in the Kenscoff area of Port-au-Prince, where team members began trying to disarm the ordnance.

According to reports, the device exploded, killing two officers and injuring six others; two survivors were seriously wounded, according to authorities. Since March, the Haitian government has employed a drone task force run by American private military contractor Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater Worldwide, to target gang members.
