US forces target drug cartels in Ecuador
U.S. special forces, in cooperation with Ecuadorian forces, carried out operations against drug trafficking gangs near the Ecuador-Colombia border as part of the "Hemisphere Shield" alliance. Ecuadorian officials confirmed the involvement of U.S. troops in the fight against terrorism linked to drugs, with two warships and three Black Hawk helicopters deployed to control coastal areas, especially the port of Manta, which is a hub for smuggling. These operations come as part of the Ecuadorian army's efforts to confront violence resulting from the drug trade, as the country has shifted from a relatively stable security environment to one of the most violent nations in South America.
