Earlier it became known that President Daniel Noboa introduced a state of emergency in Ecuador. The crisis in the Latin American country was triggered by the escape of the leader of one of the gangs from prison.
The authorities of the Latin American country tried to resolve the situation with the help of the army, but this caused even greater escalation not only in the country's penitentiary system, but also on the streets of the cities.
The president of the Latin American country today described what is happening as an internal armed conflict and ordered the military to eliminate the gangs.
The head of the joint command of the armed forces, Jaime Vela Eraso, held a meeting of the security council, at which it was decided to recognize the gangs as military targets with which it is impossible to negotiate.
