At Least 11 People Killed After a Drone Attack Strikes a Birthday Party in Haiti

HeadlineSep 24, 2025

In Haiti, at least 11 people, most of them children, were killed after a drone attack struck a birthday party in Port-au-Prince Saturday. The attack supposedly targeted gang leaders. Experts have denounced the strikes as a violation of international law, blaming Haiti’s interim government, which earlier this year hired foreign military contractors to conduct lethal operations against gangs who have seized Port-au-Prince and vast swaths of territory across the island nation. The contractors work for a company owned by Trump ally Erik Prince, also the founder of Blackwater.
