Armed attackers kill three female guards outside a jail in southwestern Ecuador, while a separate gun attack left two people dead in a small boat town, as gang violence escalate in the country
Police said on Twitter that reinforcements have been deployed in order to find those responsible for this criminal act.
The massive prison complex in Ecuador's biggest city, Guayaquil, is notorious for massacres committed by rival gangs vying for power within the penitentiary. In the village of Posorja at the delta of the river leading to Guayaquil, armed attackers fired on a small boat, killing two people and wounding a third, said Edison Rodriguez, the area's police chief.
Guayaquil is one of the hardest hit places by a recent surge in violence related to gang and drug trafficking in Ecuador.
