市民への暴力: 攻撃（エクアドル）

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 8, 2025, two unidentified gunmen in a canoe shot and injured a sand seller working along the Catarama River in Babahoyo, Los Rios province, Ecuador. The incident appears to be an isolated attack with unknown motives and no fatalities reported.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and part of a broader pattern targeting extractive workers, second-order effects could include temporary disruptions to local sand and aggregate extraction operations, though the isolated nature of this incident suggests minimal immediate supply chain implications.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional attacks on extractive industry workers or sand/gravel operations in Los Rios province
• Track whether this incident connects to broader criminal activity or territorial disputes affecting river-based commerce in the region
