This is a TV station in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s most populous city.
Gunmen with their faces covered with masks and hats threaten the performers with guns.
An imminent situation arises, with terrified employees collapsing on the floor.
It was on the afternoon of the 9th local time that gunmen broke into a broadcasting station in Ecuador, South America.
The situation ended safely after about an hour thanks to military and police operations, but the dizzying moment was broadcast in its entirety, leaving citizens in great shock.
This incident occurred as security in Ecuador became extremely deteriorated in the new year.
This morning, a bomb attack was reported in front of the Supreme Court Chief Justice’s home in Cuenca.
Additionally, a police officer was kidnapped and a car was set on fire.

Government authorities believe organized crime groups are operating simultaneously.
Following the recent prison escape of a gang leader, gang members are using force in protest against the government’s declaration of a strong response to violent crime.
President Noboa, who had declared a state of emergency the day before, declared the state of internal armed conflict and ordered the military and police to carry out counter-terrorism operations.
Ecuador, sandwiched between major cocaine producers Colombia and Peru, has been at the center of gang conflict for several years as it serves as a drug route to Europe and North America.
Meanwhile, the Korean Embassy in Ecuador announced that no cases of damage have been confirmed so far among the 600 Korean residents.
