The United States launched operations against "designated terrorist organizations" on Tuesday alongside Ecuadorian forces inside the Latin American nation.

The U.S. Southern Command (Southcom) did not disclose which terrorist groups it is targeting or the scope of the operations, but the development comes as the U.S. military has been blowing up alleged drug-trafficking boats in both the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since early September.
