Infighting between factions of a gang<\/a> vying for control over territory in Ecuador’s largest city Guayaquil, left nearly two dozen people dead, authorities said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Gun battles broke out across the northern neighborhood of Nueva Prosperina on Thursday afternoon between members of criminal group Los Tiguerones, local police chief Pablo Davila told reporters.<\/p>\n

“Yesterday criminals killed each other<\/a> in these certain parts of town,” Davila said. “The problem is that they know each other, they know where they live, and they’re fighting over who has power over that territory.”<\/p>\n

Police launched an offensive in response, carrying out around 200 searches and seizing guns and ammunition. Fourteen people, including two minors, were arrested in the area.<\/p>\n

Several of those killed and arrested had criminal records, according to authorities, with charges ranging from robbery to drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

The government in recent weeks has doubled down on its response in Ecuador’s most violent regions, as part of President Daniel Noboa’s<\/a> war on drug-trafficking gangs.<\/p>\n

Los Tiguerones and other gangs are considered terrorist groups by the government.<\/p>\n

Noboa, who is seeking re-election in an April runoff vote, has said military and police officers will be allowed to respond to the Guayaquil violence without fear of being punished for acting with a heavy hand.<\/p>\n

“Defend the country, I will defend you,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
