'ghost ship' allegedly attacked Ecuadorian boats with bomb-dropping drones. The survivors want answers | CNN

Ecuadorian fishermen say their boats were sunk in March after attacks involving small, explosive-laden rotor drones launched by armed foreigners. Hernán Flores, captain of one crew of 16, described a sudden blast in the Pacific that left him bleeding. The fishermen report spotting a mysterious blue ship and drones before the strikes, which they say came without warning—either a drone crash into the vessel’s fuel area or a dropped explosive. La Negra Francisca Duarte II was hit on March 17, while Don Maca was struck on March 26. A CIA covert-program claim reported by the Washington Post is not independently verified, and a CIA spokesperson told CNN it has no guidance.
