Soldiers and police in El Salvador have surrounded the entire central Cabanas Department as part of President Nayib Bukele 's ongoing war against gangs.

Thousands of people with no discernible link to gang activity have also been swept up in The Dragnet of arrests.
There are also concerns about a recent move by the country's lawmakers to allow mass trials.
In a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, President Bukele said Cabanas had " become The Place with the largest number of terrorist cells" where gang members were hiding in rural areas.
He stressed that The Siege would not be lifted until " all the criminals" were apprehended.
At the same time, The President urged local residents and tourists to stay calm and carry out their normal activities.
Lorries loaded with soldiers were seen on The Streets of the regional towns of Tejutepeque and Ilobaso on Tuesday, AFP news agency reports.
Cabanas is an agricultural region that is home to More Than 160,000 people.
It covers an area of just over 1,000 sq km (390 sq miles).
