Armed Robot Dogs Join Haiti Stadium Operation

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele released video this week showing military forces deploying robotic dogs carrying rifles during an operation to retake Sylvio Cator Stadium in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The operation involved Haitian police and armed forces, a task force and Salvadoran special forces, Bukele said. He described it as part of an agreement between the Haitian and Salvadoran governments.

The footage shows the robots moving along a corridor and climbing stairs with rifles mounted on them. Their specific role in the operation was not clear.

Bukele reported that multiple human skulls had been discovered within the venue. He said forces would establish an operational base there and push farther into areas controlled by gangs, adding that his forces had gained the advantage on the ground.

Before the offensive, Bukele had called on gang members to leave the area. He warned that those who stayed and fought would face consequences.

The stadium has now been secured, according to Bukele. His announcement signals that the joint forces intend to use it as a base for further advances against gangs in the surrounding territory.
