The United States Southern Command, in coordination with Ecuadorian authorities, intercepted and subsequently sank a vessel suspected of serving as a refueling station for criminal groups. The operation, announced on August 29 from Los Angeles, targeted a boat allegedly linked to the Ecuadorian criminal organization known as Los Choneros.
The action represents an ongoing collaborative effort between U.S. and Ecuadorian forces to disrupt maritime logistics used by organized crime. By neutralizing the vessel, authorities aim to impede the operational capacity of criminal networks operating within the region.
