Human Rights Watch Details Deaths and Injuries of Police Drone Attacks in Haiti

Human Rights Watch reported that Haitian security forces and private contractors have used armed drones to kill at least 1,243 people and injure 738 between March 2025 and January 2026. The attacks, concentrated in Port‑au‑Prince, include 17 child fatalities and numerous civilian casualties, with a single operation killing 57 individuals. Drone strikes have surged, with 57 incidents recorded from November to January, nearly double the previous quarter. The UN and rights groups warn the lethal drone campaign violates international law and demands accountability.
