Haiti Sees New Prime Minister Sworn in Amid Ongoing Security Challenges

The Spirit Airlines flight 951 from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince was diverted to Santiago in the Dominican Republic after the aircraft was hit by gunfire. The incident resulted in minor injuries to one of the flight attendants, who was being evaluated by medical personnel. The aircraft has been taken out of service, and Spirit services have been suspended.

Alix Didier Fils-Aimé has been appointed as Haiti's new prime minister, replacing Garry Conille. Fils-Aimé has little political experience but is the well-connected owner of a dry-cleaning chain. His appointment comes as Haiti is grappling with high levels of gang violence and security issues.
