A Kenyan officer serving with the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti has been reported missing following a gang attack.
According to a statement from MSS, the incident occurred on Tuesday, March 25, when a Haitian National Police (HNP) armored vehicle got stuck in a ditch along the Carrefour Paye-Savien Main Supply Route in the Pont-Sonde area.
Two MSS Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles were dispatched to assist in the recovery. However, one of the MRAPs also got stuck, while the other developed mechanical issues.
"As the rescue teams attempted to resolve the situation, suspected gang members lying in wait launched an attack," said MSS Spokesperson Jack Ombaka, resulting in one Kenyan officer going unaccounted for.
Specialized teams have since been deployed to conduct a search operation.
