An Ecuadorean judge has issued orders for the arrest of 16 soldiers due to their involvement in the disappearance of four children.
The children went missing three weeks ago in Guayaquil after leaving home to play soccer.
A security video reportedly shows the military taking two of the children, with the military asserting they were arrested for allegedly attempting robbery.
Genetic tests later confirmed that four charred bodies discovered near a military base were those of the missing children.
This incident has prompted protests and raised concerns over human rights abuses linked to Ecuador's military involvement in combating rising violence.
