🇪🇨🇨🇴 Ecuador and Colombia start dialogue after suspected military incursion

Ecuador’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility stated that it is engaged in “cordial conversations” with Colombian authorities following Colombia’s claim about a supposed incursion into its territory by Ecuadorian military personnel.

The Ecuadorian ministry did not confirm or deny the incident but stressed that dialogue is being maintained concerning any possible issues surrounding the operation.

Colombia had reported the presence of Ecuador’s Armed Forces on its territory, specifically in the indigenous Yarinal de San Marcelino reservation, located in the department of Putumayo. It was said that the military personnel were conducting an operation against drug trafficking.

This resulted in the activation of diplomatic and military channels between both nations, leading to a resolution that saw the Ecuadorian military retreat to the southern bank of the San Miguel river, with detainees from the operation being released.
