The military campaign is aimed at completely destroying bases used by international cartels for cocaine smuggling through the country's ports. Thanks to the participation of American specialists and aerial intelligence, it was possible to launch pinpoint strikes on the facilities of "Los Lobos" and other groups recognized as terrorist. President Daniel Noboa emphasized that such support is crucial for restoring law and order and suppressing armed violence.

The US administration views these raids as part of a broader initiative to cut off drug supply channels to North America. Expanding military coordination allows for the rapid destruction of criminal logistics hubs directly at their bases. Despite the scale of the operation, both sides declare strict adherence to agreements on protecting sovereignty and strengthening regional stability.
