Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo declared a 30-day nationwide state of siege after deadly prison riots and gang-led attacks killed at least seven police officers and injured 10 more. The unrest erupted after inmates, led by Barrio 18 gang members, took 46 prison staff hostage over the weekend. Security forces regained control, but retaliatory attacks by gangs across the country forced the government to deploy the army and expand police powers. President Arevalo assured daily life would not be restricted, though schools were temporarily closed due to security concerns. The country mourns the victims as authorities vow to crush gang terror.
