A clash between two groups of prisoners took place in the city jail of Latacunga. Among the dead was one of Ecuador’s main drug lords.

In Ecuador, at least 15 inmates were killed and 20 others injured as a result of clashes in a prison. Xinhua reports.

According to the publication, the clash took place between two groups of inmates at the Latacunga city jail. Among the dead was one of Ecuador’s main drug lords, Leandro Norero.

“Due to the unrest, prison authorities activated all security measures and called in armed units to assist,” Xinhua said.

No word yet on the cause of the collision.

It will be remembered that in February this year in the city of Guayaquil in the west of Ecuador, there were clashes between prisoners.

In November 2021, at least 58 people were killed in clashes between rival gangs in the same prison, and more than 10 were injured. In the same area, at the end of September last year, a spate of violence claimed the lives of 116 inmates.
