Ecuadorian police found the dead bodies of eight people at an illegal mining site, officials claimed, amid ongoing violence related to organised crime in the country.

The remains were discovered at an Ecuadorian mine, and police are investigating the circumstances of the deaths and attempting to identify the victims. The news comes while Ecuador battles powerful criminal organisations and growing violence linked to drug trafficking and illegal mining.

Authorities have stepped up security operations against organised crime in numerous sections of the country, where battles between competing gangs and criminal networks have contributed to a significant increase in violent deaths.
