San Salvador, Jan 19 (Prensa Latina) In El Salvador 15 days have passed without homicides, according to a report from the National Civil Police (PNC).

The figures were shared on the agency’s social media account, which attributes these results to the effective implementation of the Territorial Control Plan and the state of emergency, which is scheduled to be extended for the 47th time in the coming days.

Meanwhile, local media outlets highlight that El Salvador is the Central American country with the fewest homicides in 2025.

A report from Diario El Salvador indicated that the PNC recorded only 82 deaths due to violence between January 1 and December 31, 2025, while Guatemala reported 3,022, Honduras 2,330, Costa Rica 856, and Panama 588 murders.
