“Ecuador has released a man who survived a U.S. strike on a suspected drug-trafficking submersible vessel, the attorney general’s office said Monday, adding that the authorities had found no evidence that he had committed a crime. A government official, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak on the matter, told The Associated Press that the Ecuadorian man, identified as Andrés Fernando Tufiño, was in good health after medical evaluations. A U.S. Navy helicopter transported the survivors of the attack from the semi-submersible to a Navy ship, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News on Friday. The attack also killed two crew members.” (10/21/25)
