Overview

• State official Francisco Rodríguez Cisneros said more than 1,500 personnel from the Navy, Army, National Guard and state police now secure the city, marking the first time Navy units patrol the capital.
• Authorities asserted that public transport and school activities have fully resumed, a claim that contrasts with residents’ reports of suspended routes and limited service.
• Municipal police were effectively pulled back after the mayor sought federal assistance, leaving the chain of command and formal responsibility for local security unclear.
• Parents describe fear and a lack of communicated school-security protocols, with some staying at campuses until dismissal and others keeping children home.
• Governor Evelyn Salgado delivered 50 patrol vehicles to state police, while a local outlet reported the units are rented and earlier interview requests to clarify security control were declined.
