Village-de-Dieu Gang Members Attack Police in Kenscoff, Torch Armored Vehicle

Gang members operating from Village-de-Dieu attacked Haitian National Police officers in Kenscoff on August 7, 2026, injuring several officers and setting fire to a PNH armored vehicle. The Armed Forces of Haiti (FAd'H) and local security brigades were deployed as reinforcement. The attack came exactly one month after the devastating July 7-9 Kenscoff massacre that killed 61 people, underscoring the commune's continued exposure to gang incursions despite reinforced patrols.
