Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa was reportedly the target of an attempted assassination during protests against the government's decision to end diesel subsidies. Approximately 500 individuals allegedly threw rocks at the presidential car, with signs of bullet damage observed. Five individuals have been detained and face charges of terrorism and attempted assassination. The country has experienced over two weeks of violent clashes and demonstrations led by the indigenous organization Conaie, which accuses the government of arbitrary detentions and a violent crackdown.
