Haitian and Salvadoran security forces have regained control of Haiti's main stadium in Port-au-Prince, in what could mark a significant step in efforts to reclaim territory from armed gangs.
The operation involved the Haitian National Police, the Haitian Armed Forces, a government security task force, and Salvadoran special forces.
According to President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, the operation was conducted under a bilateral agreement between the two governments.
He also reported that human remains were discovered inside the facility, although the discovery has not been independently verified.
Mr Bukele says the stadium will now be used as a military operations base to support further security operations in surrounding communities controlled by armed gangs.
