PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Gunmen attacked an armoured vehicle in a community near Haiti’s capital, leaving two police officers injured and one driver dead, authorities said Monday.

The attack occurred over the weekend in the once peaceful farming community of Kenscoff, which heavily armed gangs have repeatedly raided in recent months.

Police said in a statement that gunmen threw Molotov cocktails into the armoured vehicle, which then overturned into a ravine.

Haitian police have been battling gangs alongside Kenyan police leading a UN-backed mission that began more than a year ago.

The attack comes days after gangs razed a small fishing town north of Port-au-Prince, killing at least 40 people, including women and children, according to local officials.
