US, Ecuador launch joint operation against drug cartels

The Armed Forces of the United States and Ecuador have launched a joint operation aimed at combating drug cartels on the country’s territory, the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).

The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism, Caliber.Az cites SOUTHCOM's website. 

“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere,” the command stated.
