Ecuador’s president Daniel Noboa said his country is “at war” with drug gangs after gunmen took over a TV studio and launched attacks. A root of this wave of violence is an increase in drug trade, with drugs mainly flowing in from Colombia.

WSJ’s Ryan Dubé explains how the gangs turned Ecuador into one of the world’s most violence-plagued nations.
