On September 10, U.S. Marines in Quito released a series of photographs documenting the boarding operations of Ecuadorian fishing vessels in the Pacific Ocean. The images capture the actions taken against these boats shortly before they were targeted, bombed, and subsequently sunk by U.S. forces.
The military actions were reportedly carried out on the suspicion of illicit activities, leading to the destruction of the vessels involved. The release of the photographic evidence brings official visibility to the controversial naval operations conducted in the region.
