Ecuador captures 8 alleged Frente Oliver Sinisterra members in Imbabura

Ecuadorian forces arrested eight alleged members of the Frente Oliver Sinisterra, a dissident FARC faction, during operations in the Nuevo Hogar sector of Urcuquí, Imbabura. The arrests continue an established pattern of counter-narcotics operations against the group, which is active along the Colombia-Ecuador border. The operation signals sustained pressure on the group but does not indicate a strategic shift.
