Intense shootings around the National Palace in the capital of Haiti. Some images show large holes in the walls of the capital's airport.
The day had passed in apparent calm in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince and only in the afternoon were sporadic shots fired. Tension and violence have increased after it became known on February 28 that Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry had committed to holding elections before the end of August 2025. Haiti is awaiting the deployment of a multinational security support mission led by Kenya and approved by the United Nations last October.
