Police in Haiti say they have regained control of a critical telecommunications hub that heavily armed gangs had seized last week, briefly disrupting air traffic and internet connections.

Kenyan authorities say one of their officers sent to Haiti to help rein in violent gangs was killed in an operation in the countryside.

About 150 military police officers from Central America have started arriving in Haiti.

An armored vehicle carrying Kenyan police rumbles through Haiti’s capital with a shattered window that a high-caliber bullet failed to penetrate, a permanent sign of the violence confronting the United Nations-backed force almost daily in Port-au-Prince.
