Reports from the Lago Agrio region in northern Ecuador have come to light after Colombian President Gustavo Petro reported on March 16, 2026, the discovery of an unexploded bomb belonging to the Ecuadorian army on his country's territory. Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa presented the operation to the press as the first airstrike in the "joint operations" with Washington against drug trafficking, announcing the destruction of an alleged training camp belonging to the Comandos de la Frontera, a Colombian guerrilla group.
