Quito (Ecuador) : Two Ecuadorian soldiers have been killed and another was wounded when a bomb they were defusing exploded at a military base, Spain’s EFE news agency reported Friday.
The blast occurred Wednesday afternoon at the Santa Cecilia military base near the San Miguel River, which serves as the natural boundary with Colombia.
An army patrol found several caches of explosives and military hardware apparently belonging to illegal Colombian armed groups, the defence ministry said.
