Kenscoff in Shock: Haitian National Police Loses Two More Officers in Drone Accident

Tragedy in Kenscoff – After the loss of two Haitian National Police officers from the BOID unit, law enforcement once again mourns the death of their brothers, two SWATT unit officers, killed in a drone explosion this August 19, 2025, an explosion described as accidental. The grim toll for the Haitian National Police continues to rise.

The circumstances surrounding this event remain unclear. According to information gathered from the Haitian National Police, this accident reportedly occurred shortly after residents of Kenscoff handed over an explosive drone to the police. It was only then that the drone exploded, causing the death of two police officers and injuring several others.

This tragedy occurs in a particularly tense climate for the Haitian National Police, with an already heavy toll: several armored vehicles set on fire by bandits, destroyed houses, and blocked roads. For several weeks, repeated clashes between specialized units and gang members located in Kenscoff have cost the lives of several police officers, including two BOID unit officers, whose remains were desecrated.

Thus, the uncontrolled use of drones reminds us that these devices can be a double-edged sword. In a statement, the Haitian National Police confirmed the losses and promised to investigate to dispel any areas of doubt. “The Command is taking all necessary measures to continue to guarantee security in Kenscoff and will not delay in informing the public at the appropriate time,” specifies the Haitian National Police statement.

For his part, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé paid tribute to the valiant police officers who fell in Kenscoff for their dedication and sacrifice. “These men and women embody the authority and sovereignty of the State, and their commitment is the guarantee of the Nation’s security and stability,” wrote the Prime Minister.

As for the President of the Transitional Council, Laurent Saint-Cyr, his speech remains unchanged. “The State reaffirms its determination to provide the Haitian National Police with increased resources to enable it to accomplish its mission,” he declared.

For his part, Chargé d'affaires Henry T. Wooster, as well as the U.S. Embassy, honored the memory of these heroes and emphasized that the United States will always support the Haitian National Police. “I just spoke with Haitian Prime Minister Fils-Aimé @citoyendidier to offer my condolences following the death of two SWAT officers from @pnh_officiel,” the diplomat concluded.

While authorities content themselves with official speeches and promises, the reality on the ground remains relentless: the streets of Kenscoff continue to burn, police families mourn, and the country watches, powerless, as the grim toll for the Haitian National Police climbs without anything truly changing.
