The G7 backed the UN-authorized anti-gang force in Haiti while urging all security actors to protect civilians as Salvadoran troops conduct operations outside the international force's command.
El Salvador’s president said Salvadoran troops destroyed the headquarters of the 400 Mawozo gang in Haiti. BBC News reported that the gang was targeted by Salvadoran forces, while The Peninsula reported the president’s claim that the base had been destroyed. Al Jazeera reported 20 deaths in the operation; other sources provided no death toll. Reports also differ on troop numbers, citing 2,000 or about 2,500, and say Haiti’s prime minister is to discuss the deployment with El Salvador.
