A Kenyan contingent officer was shot and injured on Tuesday, July 30, in Port-au-Prince during a clash with armed bandits. The commander of the Kenyan contingent announced the news in a press release, assuring, however, that the victim's life is not in danger.

"Today, 30/07/2024, at around 3:15 PM, an MSS patrol team patrolling the road from General Hospital to APN noticed a truck being attacked and looted by suspected gangsters. They observed that the gang had shot the driver while looting the truck loaded with sacks of rice. The patrol team immediately engaged the gangs after they started shooting at them. A Kenyan police officer was shot in the shoulder during the intervention and was evacuated to the 'Life Support Area' (LSA) hospital for treatment," the note reads.
