  • Officials identified six Pasaje Majestic jewelers without private coverage among the hardest hit, along with damage to Bizzarro, a grocery, an Aurrerá, a 3B, a Comex and a pharmacy in the Historic Center.
  • Authorities will reinforce security protocols for future demonstrations and urged social groups to distance themselves from violence.
