WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) – The U.S. military said on Friday that it carried out lethal kinetic operations in Ecuador with the support of the country’s forces.
“At the request of Ecuador, the Department of War executed targeted action to advance our shared objective of dismantling narco-terrorist networks,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote on X.
The operation followed a similar U.S-Ecuadorean operation announced by the U.S. Southern Command earlier this week.
