Ten killed in second Ecuador prison massacre in days

QUITO: Clashes between rival drug gangs claimed at least 10 lives in the second deadly riot in an Ecuadoran prison in days, police in the violence-wracked country said Thursday. Bloody fighting broke out in a prison in the troubled coastal city of Esmeraldas, near the Colombian border, where police said they found 10 dead prisoners in two cell blocks — adding to about 500 inmates massacred in the country since 2021. Images shared on social media and verified by AFP show dead men sprawled on the ground with bare, blood-stained torsos, at least two of them decapitated.
