Quito: Ten people were killed early Sunday in a mass shooting in a rural area of Ecuador that is under a state of emergency, police said.
One of the fatalities in the southwest province of El Oro was a totally dismembered body found in a bag, the police commander in the area, Pablo Fajardo, told reporters.
The incident was the latest in a spate of recent bloodshed, much of it linked to drug gang warfare, in a country once seen as a beacon of stability in South America.
Ecuador has become one of the world's most violent nations and a major drug trafficking hub in recent years.
In the latest attack, people who had rented a rural estate were attacked as they slept before dawn Sunday, said Fajardo.
