Salvadoran President Bukele denies the raids in Haiti

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has denied having ordered bombings in Haiti, specifying that the attack helicopters arrived in the country on October 29, days after the alleged air raids reported.

The accusation was launched by the United Nations Association in Haiti (Una Haití), a group in defense of the Haitian diaspora outside the UN, which complained of civilian victims caused by "foreign bombs".

The Salvadoran deployment, which has risen to over 2,000 soldiers, aims to locate four soldiers who disappeared in mid-October after an ambush set by criminal gangs. Bukele underlined that the mission "does not even have bombs" and defined the NGOs as "pressure groups at the service of the cartels, disguised as humanitarian organizations". The government has reiterated that it is not an invasion, but an operation to find the missing. Confirming the international importance of the crisis, the press revealed that Bukele consulted with Donald Trump, receiving the response from the US politician: "You have to do what you have to do".
