Overview

• At least four public‑transport vehicles were burned within 48 hours, including a van near the Baltazar R. Leyva market, after the killings of two poultry merchants days earlier.
• Public transit is largely suspended and officials are using Civil Protection, traffic and municipal police vehicles to move people, a stopgap that falls short for the city’s needs.
• More than 500 schools remained closed and about 13,000 teachers did not report to work, according to the SNTE, with the city government also pausing office operations.
• State and federal forces, including SSPC elements led by Omar García Harfuch, joined the Army, National Guard and Guerrero state police in deployments, and Governor Evelyn Salgado said she supervised checkpoints.
• Local reporting links the flare‑up to Los Tlacos and Los Ardillos and points to a fragile clergy‑brokered 2024 truce possibly unraveling, as residents posted banners accusing officials of cartel ties that authorities deny.
