Two armoured vehicles belonging to the United States Embassy in Haiti were targeted by gunfire from armed gangs on Monday.
A US diplomatic mission reported on Tuesday that no one was injured.
According to a note from the embassy, one of the vehicles was hit with multiple gunshots on Monday.
The note says thankfully, all of our personnel are safe and unharmed.
Meanwhile, Haitian gangs are ramping up attacks on areas they do not yet control, the head of the United Nations' Integrated Office in Haiti warned on Tuesday, after days of renewed violence from an alliance of armed gangs.
"The situation in Haiti has regrettably worsened," Maria Isabel Salvador said in a briefing to the U.N. Security Council, which over a year ago ratified the deployment of an international security force to help police restore order.
Just a fraction of over 3,000 troops pledged by a handful of countries have so far arrived.
The international mission, she added, remains "critically under-resourced, which could impact deployment and impede it from carrying out its tasks" in support of the national police.
