A Kenyan officer from the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) was shot and wounded in Kenscoff on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, during joint operations with the Haitian National Police (PNH) against the armed groups of the "Viv Ansanm" coalition. The information was confirmed by the mission’s spokesperson, Jack Ombaka, via WhatsApp messaging. "The Kenyan officer was injured but not seriously. More information to follow," the spokesperson posted on WhatsApp.

The MSS spokesperson did not specify the exact circumstances under which the officer was shot. However, the Mayor of Kenscoff told Le Nouvelliste that armored vehicles carrying Kenyan forces had been trapped since that morning. The wounded officer was airlifted to a medical facility for treatment. Residents of Thomassin reported seeing two helicopters from the Salvadoran contingent flying over the area, likely for the officer’s medical evacuation.
