Sylvio Cator Stadium Haiti robot dogs operation, Digi Mart USA News (Port-au-Prince, Haiti): El Salvador President Nayib Bukele released a video this week showing military forces using robotic dogs mounted with rifles in an operation to take back a stadium in Haiti from gang control, according to a publisher report by Fox News.
Bukele wrote on X that, under a bilateral agreement between the Haitian and Salvadoran governments, a joint operation involving the Haitian National Police, the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd’H), the Task Force, and the Salvadoran Special Forces successfully took control of Sylvio Cator Stadium and secured it. The video reportedly shows the robots moving down a hallway and up a set of stairs with a rifle on top.
The report says it is unclear exactly how the robots assisted in the Port-au-Prince operation. Bukele said several human skulls were found inside the stadium during the operation.
Bukele said the forces would now establish an operational base at the stadium to continue advancing deeper into gang-controlled territory, adding that “we now have the upper hand on the ground.” He also warned gang members to leave the area before the offensive began, saying those who chose to stay and fight would face the consequences.
The report notes that cracking down on gangs has been a hallmark of Bukele’s presidency since he took office in 2019.
