Three fishing pirogues were destroyed in a fire at the Morne Diablo Fishing Facility on Sunday night, prompting fishermen to remove their remaining vessels yesterday amid fears the attackers could return.

Several fishermen were seen loading their pirogues onto flatbed trucks after reports circulated that those responsible planned to come back and burn the remaining boats.
