MMSS spokesman Jack Ombaka confirmed that two Kenyan officers were seriously injured https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-44610-haiti-news-zapping.html and evacuated to the Dominican Republic for medical treatment. "As in any mission, casualties are sometimes inevitable," he said, without providing further details.

"One of the officers was hit in the head after a bullet penetrated his helmet, and the other was hit in the ear when a bullet penetrated the walls of the armored vehicle he was in," Reuters revealed.

Twenty armored vehicles belonging to the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS) have reportedly been immobilized since last weekend after officers refused to use them, citing their vulnerability after bullets repeatedly penetrated their armor.

Two MMSS officers told Reuters that a delegation planned to travel to Washington this week to raise concerns with U.S. officials about the inadequate level of protection of these armored vehicles.
