Overview
- Authorities report at least 23 fatalities and about 11 injuries after an explosion and fire at a Waldo's store in central Hermosillo, Sonora.
- State investigators say early findings indicate victims largely died from inhaling toxic gases rather than from the blast itself.
- The Sonora attorney-general's office is concentrating on a transformer inside the supermarket and has found no indication of a deliberate attack.
- Local Day of the Dead events in Hermosillo were canceled and President Claudia Sheinbaum offered condolences to families of the victims.
- The retailer pledged to cooperate with the ongoing investigation, as eyewitness accounts described a power outage followed by an explosion before the blaze.
