Masked gunmen stormed a live television studio in Ecuador and threatened terrified employees.
Employees were forced onto the floor during a broadcast on Guayaquil’s public television channel TC before the live feed cut out.
Police said they later freed all of the employees and made 13 arrests, displaying guns recovered.
At least ten people have been slain in Ecuador since a 60-day state of emergency was declared on Monday.
After a prominent criminal vanished from his prison cell, an emergency was proclaimed.
It is unknown whether the incident at the TV station in Guayaquil was related to the disappearance of the Choneros gang’s boss, Adolfo Macas Villamar, or Fito as he is better known, from a prison in the same city.
The neighboring Peruvian government has ordered the immediate deployment of a police force to the border to prevent any instability from entering the country.
The US has condemned the “brazen attacks” in Ecuador and has stated that it is “closely coordinating” with President Daniel Noboa and his Ecuadorean government and stands “ready to provide assistance.”
Ecuador is a major banana producer, but it also exports oil, coffee, cocoa, shrimp, and fish products.
An upsurge in violence in the Andean nation has been linked to conflicts between foreign and domestic drug cartels for control of cocaine routes to the United States and Europe.
President Noboa said that an “internal armed conflict” now existed in the country and he was mobilising the armed forces to carry out “military operations to neutralise” what he called “transnational organised crime, terrorist organisations and belligerent non-state actors”.
At least seven police officers were also kidnapped and a video circulating on social media shows three of the kidnapped officers sitting on the ground with a gun pointed at them as one is forced to read a statement addressed to President Noboa.
Police have ordered the evacuation of the government compound in Quito over security concerns.
