El Salvador’s president has said he has launched a military operation to rescue four air force personnel who have been missing in Haiti since Sunday.
Nayib Bukele wrote in a post on X that Wednesday’s attack was “nothing” compared with what would happen if all the hostages – who he said were not combatants – were not returned alive.
They went missing after being ambushed by “heavily armed criminal groups,” El Salvador’s armed forces said. The ambush occurred in Croix-des-Bouquets, an area controlled by armed groups.
