2025 US Embassy Shooting in Haiti

An armed confrontation took place on November 13, 2025, at the United States Embassy to Haiti complex in Tabarre, a northern suburb of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. The incident involved an exchange of gunfire between U.S. Marines and a group of armed assailants, strongly suspected to be local gang members affiliated with the powerful and volatile Viv Ansanm coalition. There were no casualties reported.

The skirmish unfolded amid the ongoing Haitian conflict and the wider Haitian crisis (2018–present), a period characterized by extreme political instability, a humanitarian emergency, and the near-total collapse of state authority, with criminal gangs controlling an estimated 80-90% of the capital.
