A live television program in Ecuador was interrupted by hooded and armed men on Tuesday as the Guayaquil-based network was on air. The hooded men forced the staff onto the floor as shots and people yelling were heard in the background, social media video showed. The incident took place on the state-owned TC Television. Its live stream signal is currently down. “Specialized units” of the police force have responded to the emergency at the media station, the National Police of Ecuador said on its official X account. It came as the country was rocked by a number of explosions, police kidnappings and prison disturbances that took place just hours after President Daniel Noboa declared a nationwide state of emergency after high-profile gang leader Adolfo “Fito” Macias escaped from a prison in Guayaquil. Since Noboa’s Monday announcement, at least seven police agents have been kidnapped in three different cities, according to a post on X, formerly Twitter, by the National Police.
