The Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission was sent to Haiti last June to help restore order to the country that has been overrun by gangs.
A Kenyan police officer who was on patrol with the international security force in Haiti has been killed in a confrontation with gang members.
The officer is the first casualty suffered by the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission.
The force was sent to Haiti last June to help restore order to the country, where gangs have seized control of almost the entire capital, Port-au-Prince, as well as large swathes of rural areas.
More than 5,500 people were killed in gang-related violence in Haiti in 2024 and more than a million people have fled their homes.
