Three suspected bandits killed during an operation in Gressier

During this operation, several specialized units of the HNP were mobilized, including SWAT, UTAG, BRI, and BOID, as well as intelligence services. Chief Commissioner Alix Appolon led the operation under the supervision of Director Jasmen.

According to a statement from the HNP, several areas in the commune of Gressier were recaptured during this intervention aimed at strengthening control over sectors encircled by gangs. Several individuals who were injured fled after an exchange of gunfire.

Consequences and Objectives

The police indicated that they seized an M-14c, a Galil, and an AR-15 during the operation. Survivors of the bandits recovered weapons from the dead to prevent the police from finding them, according to a source interviewed by Le Nouvelliste.

The primary goal of the government is to reopen at least two national roads, including National Road Number 2, to traffic. This operation is part of efforts to liberate areas controlled by gangs and facilitate a gradual economic recovery.
