Dominican Republic Air Force conducts border patrols

The Dominican Republic Air Force (FARD) has deployed A-29B Super Tucano aircraft to conduct surveillance and patrol flights over various points along the Dominican-Haitian border.

Aerial footage from the missions shows the border wall, the CODEVI industrial park, the Binational Market, and the Dajabón border crossing. These flights are part of increased military presence reported in the provinces of Dajabón, Elías Piña, Independencia, and Pedernales, which contain the primary formal border crossings between the two nations.

The aerial surveillance is intended to complement ground operations to protect national sovereignty and monitor strategic areas for commerce and authorized transit. Despite the increased military activity, local border trade and daily activities have reportedly continued without significant changes to normal dynamics.
