Authorities in Ecuador have detained 13 masked individuals who forcibly entered a television studio during a live broadcast in Guayaquil. The armed intruders, carrying guns and what seemed to be explosives, disrupted a live news program broadcasted nationwide. This incident occurred on January 9, 2024, following President Daniel Noboa’s declaration of an “internal armed conflict.”
Despite the intrusion and reported gunshots in the background, no casualties were reported as the intruders held news anchors hostage on set. Police commander César Zapata confirmed the arrest of the individuals, stating that authorities confiscated the weapons and explosives they were carrying. A total of 13 people were taken into custody.
The Ecuadorian attorney general’s office announced that the detained individuals would face charges related to terrorism. Prosecutors are actively gathering evidence at the scene of the attack on the TC Television network and are set to present the charges in the upcoming hours.
