Crews of Ecuadorian fishing vessels have begun documenting the boarding of their ships by United States military personnel through live broadcasts on the social media platform TikTok. These recordings are being used by the fishermen to alert their families and establish a record of their location during the encounters.
According to reports, these incidents involve U.S. marines intercepting fishing boats that are subsequently destroyed. The actions are reportedly taken by U.S. forces based on allegations that the vessels are involved in collaborating with drug trafficking operations.
