Ecuador imposes curfew in five provinces amid security crackdown

Ecuador's government announced a curfew across Guayas, Manabí, Los Ríos, El Oro, and Esmeraldas, escalating its security response. Separately, officials confirmed preparations for the extradition of Daniel Salcedo and Ronald Hererra to the U.S., with Roberto Álvarez, alias 'Gerente', next. The move signals a hardening of state action against organized crime, though the curfew's scope and duration remain unspecified.
