A prison riot in Ecuador's coastal city of Guayaquil on Wednesday has left at least 11 inmates and police officers injured, the SNAI prison authority said in a preliminary report, just days after a deadly riot at another jail, APA reports citing Reuters.

Violence plagues Ecuador's prison system, with eight major clashes leaving 373 dead since February last year, SNAI data showed.

The most recent deadly riot, at a prison in the city of Latacunga on Monday, saw at least 16 prisoners killed.
