WEAPONS AND EXPLOSIVES HIDDEN BY "LOS CHONEROS" WERE LOCATED IN GUAYAS! 💪
➡️ Military intelligence information, in coordination with the National Intelligence Center, enabled the execution of an operation aimed at dismantling structures of "Los Choneros", linked to extortion, kidnapping, and hitman activities in the province of #Guayas.
📌 During the military search, handmade weapons, ammunition, slow-burning fuse, primed explosives, and materials allegedly used for illicit activities were found in a property, weakening the operational capabilities of this criminal structure.
📍 The operation was carried out by the @FFAAECUADOR, through the @EjercitoECU, in the El Porvenir sector, Santa Lucía canton, province of #Guayas.
We continue to act firmly to confront the mafias and restore security for Ecuadorians.👊

VA Secretary Doug Collins @SecVetAffairs - Video: VA employees are the greatest in the world, but the successes they achieve every day at @DeptVetAffairs are rarely acknowledged. I reminded Congress that our employees have worked tirelessly to make healthcare more accessible, lower wait times, and deliver benefits faster than ever. Veterans are seeing the change and I’m proud to be part of this team.
