A car and the facade of a house were affected after the detonation of explosive devices in the northwest of Guayaquil.
Parts of the vehicle were scattered on the street, although it was not completely destroyed. While the facade of a two-story house was semi-destroyed by the strong explosion.
The explosions were recorded on a street in the Mi Lote sector, near the Villa Bonita citadel. Next to the house there are no real estate. No injuries were reported.
Preliminary versions indicate that they would have thrown explosives first on the front of the house and then on the car, which was close to the house.
Residents of the sector heard the noise around 11:30 p.m. on Monday.
This is the third detonation of a vehicle reported in a month in the northern area of Guayaquil. The first two were in the area of the Litoral Penitentiary. In one of them, the vehicle was destroyed and affected food stores, but there were no injuries.

The detonation of this new car occurs at a time when Guayaquil is part of the state of emergency decreed in three provinces due to the levels of insecurity.
Explosives were also detected last month outside the Judicial Unit of Albán Borja, on the day they were habeas corpus filed by a leader of the Los Choneros gang.

The use of explosive devices reflects another scenario of violence that had not been seen in the country in the midst of this wave of crimes and violent deaths.
