Armed groups attack the National Palace in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Officials of the presidential residence are locked inside and the clashes have left five police officers injured.

The current head of Government of the Caribbean country, Ariel Henry, is in exile in Puerto Rico after threats received by criminal groups. He will leave office when a transitional presidential council is created in a country devastated by criminal gangs who want to come to power. The armed gangs have extended the battlefield to Champs de Mars, the largest public square in Haiti.
