A passenger plane of the American airline Spirit Airlines was shot down on Monday, while it was landing in the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, according to, among other things Miami Herald.
According to sources who spoke to the newspaper, the flight attendant of the plane arriving from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, received minor injuries after being hit by a bullet. None of the passengers were injured in the incident.
All flights at Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport were temporarily suspended, and the plane that came under fire was diverted to the neighboring Dominican Republic.
Armed gangs in Haiti’s capital have been targeting airplanes in recent weeks as the country’s security situation has deteriorated.
In October, a UN helicopter also came under fire over Port-au-Prince.
