El Salvador President Nayib Bukele says Salvadoran troops deployed in Haiti have destroyed a suspected gang headquarters, with his government having sent more than 2,000 soldiers since late October. The deployments follow the disappearance of four Salvadoran troops. France 24 also reports the Haitian prime minister praises Bukele after the operation, while raising questions about rules of engagement and coordination with a UN-backed force.
Dominican President Luis Abinader says his government backs Bukele’s campaign in Haiti and is providing logistics and intelligence support to El Salvador. Multiple outlets also report his backing in similar terms, with Dominican collaboration described as intelligence and support rather than direct command of operations. Separately, coverage also says Haiti’s Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé plans to visit El Salvador to discuss the future of the Salvadoran troop offensive, based on confirmation from a Salvadoran government official and reporting referenced via AP.
Overall, outlets largely agree on the core sequence: El Salvador’s troop deployment, claims of strikes against gang leadership or sites, Dominican support, and planned talks in El Salvador about what comes next. Differences mainly lie in which concerns (such as coordination and engagement rules) are foregrounded and the specific phrasing of support and casualty or operational details where provided.
