On September 23, 2025, a drone attack in Cite Soleil, a dangerous neighborhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, killed at least 11 people, including eight children. The attack is attributed to the Haitian National Police's use of kamikaze drones in their ongoing battle against gangs, which control approximately 80% of the city. The incident occurred during a birthday celebration for suspected gang leader Albert Steevenson, raising questions about the government's tactics. Human rights organizations have criticized the use of drones, claiming it violates ethical standards and endangers civilians. The Haitian government, which began using drones earlier this year, has faced backlash, particularly from Canada, which supplied the drones. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for urgent international action to restore security in Haiti, where violence has displaced 1.3 million people and resulted in over 1,500 deaths in recent months.
