Ecuador, US dismantle Los Choneros 'Charlie' with CJNG, FARC ties

Ecuadorian and US authorities captured or neutralized a senior Los Choneros figure, 'Charlie,' who had documented links to Mexico's CJNG and Colombia's FARC dissidents. The operation signals deepening bilateral counter-narcotics cooperation and a potential disruption of transnational drug trafficking networks in the Pacific corridor. Details on the operative outcome and subsequent security response remain unconfirmed.
