[Regnum] Ecuadorian police and military released 24 prison guards and 17 administrative employees previously taken hostage by prisoners during the riots. The Ecuadorian Penitentiary Service (SNAI) announced this on its page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

Currently, 136 people remain in captivity. SNAI noted that violence and clashes in prisons continue.

In this regard, security was evacuated from the Guayas prison, where security forces stopped attempts at escape and a new hostage-taking. At the El Oro prison, inmates clashed with police and military personnel. New operations are being carried out in correctional facilities.

As Regnum reported, on January 7, the security situation in Ecuador began to escalate. It took place against the backdrop of unrest in prisons and escapes of criminal gang leaders.

On January 8, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa introduced a state of emergency in the country for 60 days, and on January 9 - a regime of internal armed conflict. On the same day, armed people burst into the studio of the TC television channel in the city of Guayaquil, taking the editorial staff hostage.

The invaders demanded to be given the opportunity to go live. In addition, in several prisons in Ecuador, prisoners took hostage more than 130 guards and employees of institutions.

On January 10, the military gathered armored vehicles in the center of the capital of Ecuador. In addition, by order of the head of state, the security of high-ranking officials and their families was strengthened.
