A drive-by shooting in Machala, Ecuador killed two men and injured another on April 17, 2025, carried out by unidentified armed individuals on motorbikes. The incident reflects ongoing security challenges in Ecuador's El Oro province, though the perpetrators and motivations remain unknown.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. However, if confirmed and part of a broader pattern of violence, such incidents could affect local business operations and transportation networks in the Machala area, particularly given the city's role as a commercial hub in Ecuador's southern coastal region.
