Dos salvadoreños son retenidos en el Pacífico de Nicaragua por pesca ilegal
Dos ciudadanos salvadoreños, entre ellos un menor de edad, fueron retenidos por la Fuerza Naval del Ejército de Nicaragua tras ser sorprendidos realizando pesca ilegal en aguas del Pacífico nicaragüense, en una zona cercana al Golfo de Fonseca, área históricamente marcada por disputas marítimas entre Nicaragua, El Salvador y Honduras.
TL;DR
