Overview

• Gunmen opened fire around 3 a.m. and dropped explosive devices from drones for roughly 20 minutes, targeting the municipal building in Zinapécuaro, Michoacán.
• An elderly resident was wounded by shrapnel or glass, three nearby homes were damaged, and attackers destroyed a C5 surveillance camera post.
• Army, National Guard, Guardia Civil and state prosecutors deployed to secure the area, conduct forensics and continue searches and patrols.
• State prosecutor Carlos Torres Piña said three suspects were detained, three vehicles were damaged and the attackers may have used sophisticated or army-grade weapons.
• The incident’s scope is contested after the state government secretary characterized the gunfire as shots in the air, and an alleged CJNG message claiming responsibility remains unverified.
