On the evening of February 27, a potential mutiny alert was raised at the Litoral Penitentiary, also known as Center for Deprivation of Liberty No. 1, prompting an immediate response from the National Police of Ecuador and coordinated intervention with the Armed Forces. The situation escalated around 7:35 PM, leading to the activation of operational protocols designed to handle such crises.

Authorities initiated a verification process to assess the conditions within the prison while ensuring that order was maintained internally. The ECU911 system has been monitoring the region closely, and security measures were intensified, with military and police patrols stationed around the facility. Additional police units were dispatched into the penitentiary to manage the situation effectively.

As of the last reports, no significant incidents were reported from inside the prison, and efforts continued to secure both the interior and exterior of the facility. The high alert around the Litoral Penitentiary underscores ongoing security challenges within Ecuador's prison system, which has seen repeated incidents of violence and unrest. Authorities are working to ensure the safety of both inmates and staff in the wake of this alert.
