Residents and police in Haiti's Port-au-Prince killed at least 28 gang members attacking Pétionville.

In Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, at least 28 suspected gang members were killed when they attacked the upscale neighborhood of Pétionville. Residents and police collaborated to repel the assault led by the Viv Ansanm gang, resulting in the seizure of hundreds of munitions. The attack follows a surge in gang violence that has displaced over 20,000 people recently and prompted the US to ban civilian flights to the country. The UN has expressed concern over escalating violence, with gangs controlling about 85% of the capital.
