Ecuador raids Alto Punino camps, arrests nine alleged border commandos

Ecuadorian security forces raided three camps in Alto Punino, Orellana, arresting nine suspects allegedly linked to armed groups operating near the border. The camps reportedly housed up to 60 people and served as rest stops for these groups. This is part of ongoing counter-narcotics and security operations in Ecuador's border region, but the specific affiliation and operational impact remain unclear.
