"US Marines Conduct Rescue Operation at Haitian Embassy"

US Marines were deployed to the embassy in Haiti to bolster security amid escalating gang violence, with the operation excluding Haitian nationals from transport on military aircraft. The deteriorating security situation in Port-au-Prince has led to widespread fighting and infrastructure attacks, prompting a state of emergency and the deployment of additional resources by the Haitian government and the US. Despite ongoing violence, the US Embassy remains open with restricted activities, and international efforts, including a Multinational Security Support mission, aim to reinforce the Haitian National Police.
