El Salvador deploys special forces to Haiti to help find 4 missing soldiers who came under attack

On Thursday, El Salvador deployed 100 special forces soldiers to Haiti to conduct a rescue operation for four of its own soldiers who went missing following an attack by local gangs. The deployment was confirmed by two officials speaking to The Associated Press from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The mission marks a significant international response to the ongoing security crisis in Haiti, where gang violence has created volatile conditions for foreign personnel. The primary objective of the Salvadoran forces is to locate and recover the missing members of their contingent.
