El Salvador launched a military operation in Haiti after four Salvadoran aviation technicians were kidnapped during a mission. The technicians were ambushed in Croix-des-Bouquets on October 18. President Nayib Bukele warned Haitian gang leaders that the operation was only a preview of what could follow if the hostages were not released. On October 23, Salvadoran technicians were ambushed while participating in the military mission.
