At least 68 inmates killed in bloody battle between Ecuadorian prison gangs
至少68名囚犯在厄瓜多尔监狱帮派间的血腥战斗中死亡
At least 68 inmates were killed and 25 more injured when two rival gangs exchanged gunfire and detonated explosives inside of an Ecuadorian prison on Saturday. Over 900 law enforcement officers spent most of the day trying to quell the violence — which lasted for around 8 hours — at the Litoral Penitentiary in the coastal city of Guayaquil, which officials have linked to international drug cartels.
周六，两个敌对帮派在厄瓜多尔一所监狱内交火并引爆炸药，造成至少68名囚犯死亡，25人受伤。900多名执法人员花了一天的大部分时间试图平息在沿海城市瓜亚基尔市的滨海监狱持续了大约8个小时的暴力活动，该监狱官员与国际贩毒集团有联系。
Graphic videos circulating on social media showed bodies, some burned, lying on the ground inside the prison. Presidential spokesman Carlos Jijón said in a statement that after nightfall “the situation is controlled throughout the penitentiary.” According to Governor of the Guayas province Pablo Arosemana, inmates “tried to dynamite a wall to get into Pavilion 2 to carry out a massacre. They also burned mattresses to try to drown (their rivals) in smoke.”
社交媒体上流传的图片视频显示，监狱内的地面上躺着尸体，其中一些被烧伤。总统发言人卡洛斯·Jijón在一份声明中说，夜幕降临后，“整个监狱的局势都得到了控制。”瓜亚斯省省长巴勃罗·阿罗塞马纳说，囚犯“试图炸毁一堵墙，进入二号馆进行大屠杀。他们还焚烧床垫，试图将（他们的对手）窒息死在烟雾中。”
Police responding to the prison employed drones to catch a bird’s-eye view of the chaos, which revealed inmates in three of the prison’s pavilions armed with guns and explosives. Authorities said the weapons and ammunition were smuggled through vehicles delivering supplies as well as by drones. Prison violence has been surging in the South American country. Just two months ago, 119 people were killed in a battle between rival gangs at the same prison, which houses over 8,000 inmates. During the battle, which is considered the deadliest prison event in Ecuador’s history, at least five of those killed were beheaded.
警方出动无人机对监狱的混乱景象进行鸟瞰，发现监狱的三个楼阁里的囚犯手持枪支和炸药。
当局表示，这些武器和弹药是通过运送物资的车辆以及无人机走私。这个南美国家的监狱暴力事件激增。就在两个月前，在同一座关押着8000多名囚犯的监狱里，敌对帮派之间发生了一场战斗，造成119人死亡。这场战斗被认为是厄瓜多尔历史上最致命的监狱事件，在这场战斗中，至少五名死者被斩首。
