Port-au-Prince: seminarian killed by police remote-controlled explosive device
A young Haitian who was undergoing training to enter the priesthood died on 7 March 2026 in Port-au-Prince. He was struck by a remote-controlled flying device loaded with explosives, deployed by the security agents of the metropolis, according to a report by the specialised media outlet cath.ch.
The original article, accessible only to subscribers of the website, indicates that the victim was a candidate for the priesthood. The precise details of the police operation during which this death occurred have not been made public in the available excerpt.
This death occurs within a climate of persistent chaos prevailing in the Haitian capital, where clashes between gangs and police interventions regularly claim civilian victims. The use of unmanned aircraft equipped with explosive charges by police raises questions about law enforcement methods and their consequences for inhabitants not involved in armed conflicts.
The portal cath.ch, dedicated to news about the Catholic Church, shared this information as part of its international coverage.
