エクアドル民間人への暴力：攻撃

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, unidentified gunmen on a motorbike conducted a drive-by shooting in Manta's 20 de Mayo neighborhood, injuring one person. The incident reflects ongoing security challenges in Ecuador's coastal regions, though the perpetrators and motivations remain unknown.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If part of broader criminal organization activity in Manabi province, it could contribute to operational risks for businesses in Manta's commercial districts, though this isolated incident appears unlikely to disrupt major logistics flows.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional security incidents in Manta or broader Manabi province that could indicate escalating criminal activity
• Track whether authorities identify the perpetrators or link the attack to organized crime groups operating in Ecuador's coastal regions
