"One person died and several were injured following the explosion of a vehicle in front of the Mall del Sol shopping centre in northern Guayaquil on Tuesday, with authorities investigating it as a terrorist attack. Footage shows the lifeless body under a sheet next to a yellow car on one of the main avenues surrounding the Mall del Sol shopping centre in Guayas province, a highly frequented tourist area north of Guayaquil. According to the Guayaquil Fire Department, the incident also left several injured, all of whom were taken to a nearby health centre for treatment. Guayas Governor Humberto Plaza described the explosion that occurred on Tuesday night as a 'terrorist attack.' "There is material damage, some damage to the buildings. We have lost a human life. It seems monstrous to me. If these people intended to attack the government, they aimed poorly," said the Governor. On his X account, Ecuadorian Interior Minister John Reimberg reported that four high-powered explosive devices with safety fuses and an electronic activation device were found at the scene. He also stated that the explosives used are of 'professional manufacture' and attributed the attack to 'criminal groups seeking to cause chaos' in the area. "I hardly believe in coincidences. In any case, if they aimed to intimidate the government, it backfired on them, because what they have achieved is to fill us with determination to go after them," assured Plaza. The area where the explosion occurred is a middle-class neighbourhood, surrounded by restaurants, businesses, shops, clinics, a hospital, hotels, and the largest shopping centre in the city. Guayaquil, due to its strategic location with access to the Pacific Ocean, has become a key point for criminal organisations. As a result, the city is experiencing an alarming increase in attacks, murders, extortion, disappearances, robberies and other crimes."
