El Salvador’s military has brought rifle-equipped four-legged robots into its security operation in Port-au-Prince. The machines appeared in footage released by President Nayib Bukele after Haitian and Salvadoran forces retook Sylvio Cator Stadium on November 12. The stadium had been under gang control since 2024. Bukele says the facility will become a military base for further operations into gang-held neighborhoods. The footage shows the robots carrying rifles, but does not show them firing or independently flushing gang members out of hiding.
The operation involved Haitian police, Haitian armed forces and Salvadoran special forces. Bukele says several human skulls were found inside the stadium and announced it would become a base for operations deeper into gang-controlled areas. El Salvador has sent about 2,500 troops to Haiti after four Salvadoran technicians went missing in a gang attack in October. The intervention is drawing scrutiny over its legal basis, civilian risks and how long Salvadoran forces intend to remain.
