Gunmen Storm Ecuadorian TV Station, Sparking Terrorism Charges and National Uproar

Ecuador faced a severe crisis when hooded gunmen interrupted a live TV broadcast in Guayaquil, following the escape of drug lord Adolfo Macias. This prompted President Noboa to declare a state of emergency, intensifying security measures across the country. The attackers at the TV station, charged with terrorism, are part of a larger pattern of violence attributed to the Los Choneros gang, known for its links to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel.
