MOSCOW (Sputnik) - El Salvador detained more than 10,000 individuals during country-wide operation to combat a wave of violent deaths, President Nayib Bukele said on Tuesday.
On 27 March, the parliament of El Salvador approved Bukele's request to impose a state of emergency in the country after over 60 people were killed in shootout with armed gangs in a day.
"10,094 terrorists were detained within 17 days. We continue…," Bukele tweeted.
