Quito: At least five people were killed and three others injured in an armed assault at a mine in Camilo Ponce Enriquez in southern Ecuador's Azuay province, said the police.

Authorities are investigating the incident in the region of the Andean province, where both legal and illegal mining activities are expanding, Xinhua news agency reported.
The region is under a "state of exception" and a curfew has been imposed to allow security forces "to neutralise organised crime" and combat violence.
According to official statistics, the area has seen an 82 per cent increase in murders so far this year.
