Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele released dramatic video footage Tuesday showing military helicopters launching rocket strikes on the fortified residence of a notorious 400 Mawozo gang leader in Haiti.

Conducted alongside Haitian security forces, the joint airborne and ground assault targeted the stronghold of kingpin Wilson Joseph, also known as "Lanmo Sanjou," near Port-au-Prince.

The high-stakes escalation marks a decisive widening of El Salvador’s international anti-gang offensive, bringing Bukele’s controversial, hardline security tactics directly into Haiti's lawless criminal territory as multinational forces move to dismantle the powerful syndicates terrifying the island nation.
