Three officers in the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) were injured after an early morning attack by Haitian gangs.
The gangs were taking advantage of a transition power vacuum that was being experienced in the caribbean country to stage attacks on the team stabilizing the area.
Two armored vehicles belonging to the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti were set on fire in Kenskoff during a patrol around 2 am.
The thugs then posted videos on social media showing the armored vehicles in flames on Thursday, August 7, 2025.
In a statement released on Thursday, August 7, MSSM disclosed that the attack occurred in Kenscoff at 2 am, after the forces, largely composed of Kenyan police officers, had responded to distress calls from area residents.
Officials said the attack was carried out to disrupt a planned Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) transition that was to take place today.
“In anticipation of today’s scheduled CPT transition, armed gangs had plotted to disrupt national stability and render the country ungovernable.
However, these efforts were decisively thwarted through coordinated, around-the-clock patrols and a strong security presence,” the MSSM stated.
