El Salvador President Nayib Bukele released a video this week showing military forces using robotic dogs mounted with rifles in an operation to take back a stadium in Haiti from gang control.
"Under the bilateral agreement between the Haitian government and the government of El Salvador, a joint operation involving the Haitian National Police, the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd’H), the Task Force, and the Salvadoran Special Forces successfully took control of Sylvio Cator Stadium and secured it," Bukele wrote on X in a translation from Haitian Creole.
The video showed the robots moving down a hallway and up a set of stairs with the rifle on top.

It’s unclear exactly how the robots assisted in the Port-au-Prince operation.
Bukele said "several human skulls" were found inside the stadium during the operation.

"We will now establish an operational base at the stadium so we can continue advancing deeper into territory controlled by the gangs," he said. "We now have the upper hand on the ground."
Bukele demanded gang members leave the area before their offensive began.
