Ecuador will launch a major offensive against criminal organizations in three western provinces this weekend with logistical support from the United States, the interior minister said Wednesday.
Speaking to a local radio station, Interior Minister John Reimberg urged citizens to observe an 11 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew from Sunday through March 30 in the provinces of Guayas, Los Ríos and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas — three of the most violent in the South American country.
Residents under curfew need to stay in their homes and keep the roads clear to facilitate the movement of troops and equipment, he said.
“We do not want collateral victims from the attacks we are about to launch,” Reimberg said. “We have significant support from U.S. forces for the operations we are about to carry out.”
