At least eight children dead were killed by explosive drones on Saturday night in a gang-controlled slum in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. It is believed that the drone attack was targeting suspected gang leader, Albert Steevenson, known as Djouma, who was preparing to celebrate his birthday. Haiti’s National Human Rights Defence Network said that Steevenson was distributing gifts to children when the attack occurred. Romain Le Cour, head of Haiti Observatory at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, said the attack raises “urgent questions of accountability”. The National Human Rights Defence Network said three civilians and four suspected gang members were also killed in the attack, with seven other gunmen injured.
