US and Ecuador forces have launched an operation targeting what they describe as terrorist organizations involved in drug trafficking. The action aims to tackle illicit drug trafficking, but details are limited. This comes after President Daniel Noboa highlighted the country's role in cocaine distribution and its proximity to major producers Colombia and Peru. The operation follows a referendum result that rejected the return of foreign military bases.
