This Haitian stadium was gang territory until robot dogs arrived

Armed robot dogs were deployed by El Salvador’s military and Haitian forces as they reclaimed the Sylvio Cator Stadium in Port-au-Prince from gang control. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele posted footage of the November 12 operation on X, saying it was part of a bilateral security agreement to retake Haiti from gang control. Human skulls and bones were discovered in the facility. Salvadoran forces were deployed to Haiti after four of their aviation technicians went missing during a UN operation in October. Bukele says the stadium will now be used as a base of operations as they seek to expand security operations into gang-controlled neighborhoods.
