Ammon News - Ten people were killed and ten injured, including children, in two shootings Sunday in Guayaquil, the Ecuadoran port city in the grips of a bloody war between drug trafficking gangs, officials said.

The shootings took place in two poor neighborhoods of the city that has seen at least three similar attacks since April.

The first shooting killed four people and injured 10 including children aged 2, 13 and 14 in Siete Lagos in the south of the city, the prosecutor's office said on Monday.

The second occurred in the north of Guayaquil, where six people were killed.
