Shots had been fired on US embassy autos in Haiti on Monday in an assault that additionally affected the Haitian police and business autos, an embassy spokesperson stated.

“No embassy personnel were injured,” Information Officer Kathryn Edwards stated in a press release. “One Haitian commercial driver accompanying the convoy was injured. However, the injuries are not life threatening.”

The assertion didn’t establish the attackers. Gang violence has been rife within the Caribbean nation, and one native media report attributed the assault to the 400 Mawozo gang, which kidnapped a bunch of US and Canadian missionaries in 2021.

The US State Department didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.

Consulted in regards to the report, Haitian authorities spokesperson Jean-Junior Joseph stated the knowledge was correct.

The Haitian National Police this month took again management of the Varreux gasoline terminal that for six weeks had been blocked by the G9 gang coalition, creating gasoline shortages that triggered a humanitarian disaster.

Fuel has slowly begun returning to stations since then.
