Daniel Noboa’s convoy was attacked by a large group throwing stones in protest against rising fuel prices

Ecuador’s president Daniel Noboa has escaped unharmed after his motorcade was targeted by stone-throwing protesters and what one minister described as a volley of gunshots.

Noboa was inaugurating a water treatment plant in central Ecuador on Tuesday when his motorcade was set on by a large group protesting against rising fuel prices.
