The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti<\/a> on Saturday alerted U.S. citizens of ongoing security operations north and south of the embassy and in Croix-de-Bouquets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Heavy gunfire was reported in the Haitian capital, prompting U.S. government personnel to halt all movements, according to an alert from the Department of State.<\/p>\n

The embassy remains open for emergency services.<\/p>\n

Officials urged nearby U.S. citizens to avoid the area and monitor local media for updates.<\/p>\n

Armed gangs<\/a> control large portions of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas, according to the U.S. State Department and the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Croix-de-Bouquets, one of the areas referenced in Saturday\u2019s security alert<\/a>, has long been considered a “400 Mawozo” gang stronghold.<\/p>\n

“400 Mawozo” gang leader Joly Germine, 34, of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, was sentenced to life in prison<\/a> in December for his role in the 2021 abduction of 16 American citizens, including five children, Fox News Digital previously reported.<\/p>\n

The victims, with Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries<\/a>, were on their way back from an orphanage when they were taken hostage, according to the Justice Department.<\/p>\n

The State Department currently maintains a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisory<\/a> for Haiti, citing kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest and limited health care.<\/p>\n

The State Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n
