El Salvador's Special Forces have taken control of the Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, following a joint operation to reclaim the site from gangs. The stadium, which is the country's largest, had been under gang control for the last two years. According to President Nayib Bukele, the operation involved a bilateral agreement between the governments of Haiti and El Salvador, utilizing the Haitian National Police, the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd’H), and a private security group known as the Task Force. Bukele released a video showing armed robots used during the operation, which also uncovered several human skulls inside the stadium.
