The United States and Ecuador said their forces have bombed a drug trafficker’s camp near Ecuador’s border with Colombia. The camp belonged to a dissident faction of the FARC guerrilla group.
The United States and Ecuador carried out joint strikes inside Ecuador as part of an ongoing operation targeting drug trafficking, US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a statement on Friday.
SOUTHCOM said that its commander, General Francis Donovan, at the order of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, directed the joint force to support Ecuadorian forces conducting what it called “lethal kinetic operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations” within the Latin American country.
“We are advancing alongside our partners in the fight against narcoterrorism,” the statement posted on X said.
