A series of brutal mass shootings in Ecuador have left at least 17 people dead and many more injured, including a 12-year-old boy, as gunmen stormed bars and public spaces in coastal regions. The attacks are part of a surge in violent crime linked to drug trafficking gangs, which has intensified since the government declared war on organized crime. Local authorities have declared states of emergency in affected municipalities, and investigations are underway. The violence has not only devastated communities but is also threatening Ecuador's tourism industry and public safety. The country is now considered one of the most dangerous in the region as authorities struggle to contain the escalating crisis.
