Zeventien mensen doodgeschoten in bar Ecuador, land ziet moordcijfer stijgen
In Ecuador, armed men shot dead seventeen individuals and injured at least eleven others in an entertainment venue in El Empalme, amid ongoing gang conflicts over drug smuggling routes. The violence has escalated significantly, with a 47% increase in murders reported in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year, despite President Noboa's declaration of war on organized crime.
