The Gang Repression Force (FRG) claims to have seized weapons and ammunition during an operation carried out on November 11 north of the Port-au-Prince international airport. It indicated this in a post on its Facebook page, published on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

The targeted area is in the commune of Tabarre. The same day, the FRG announced another operation in Cité Soleil, which it says left one suspected gang member dead and two wounded. Firearms, ammunition, Molotov cocktails and marijuana were also seized there.

What the FRG did not specify

According to the FRG, the quantity and type of weapons seized were not disclosed. It also did not say whether any individuals had been arrested during the intervention.

The stated objectives of the operations

According to the Force, its interventions are continuing as part of efforts to regain control of areas occupied by armed gangs. They are aimed in particular at dismantling weapons caches, gathering points, and supply bases for these groups.

The FRG also says it wants to strengthen security around the airport and in neighboring neighborhoods, and restore freedom of movement in these areas. These operations are also intended to create the conditions for the safe return of displaced populations to their neighborhoods.

The announced follow-up

The Force reaffirms its determination to continue its operations on the ground. "Zone by zone, neighborhood by neighborhood," it emphasizes in its communication.
