Haiti gangs try to seize control of main airport as violence surges in Caribbean nation | Oneindia
In a surge of violence targeting vital government installations, heavily armed gangs made a brazen attempt to seize control of Haiti's primary international airport.
Exchanging gunfire with police and soldiers, the assailants launched their assault on Toussaint Louverture International Airport, prompting its closure with no flights operating and no passengers present during the attack on Monday.
Amidst the chaos, an armoured truck bravely engaged in gunfire with the gangs on the tarmac, striving to thwart their entry onto airport grounds while scores of employees and workers sought safety from the barrage of bullets.
