Ecuadorian police are conducting intensified patrols and controls during a nightly curfew (00:00–05:00) in Guayas, Manabí, Los Ríos, El Oro, and Esmeraldas. The measure reflects an ongoing security operation against organized crime, though the specific trigger or escalation is not detailed. This indicates sustained state response to gang-related violence in coastal provinces.
