Overview
- Authorities confirmed late Friday that an explosion in Colonia Minas de Cristo killed two people, injured 14 (eight in serious condition), and damaged five properties including Taquería La Bajadita.
- Initial peritajes by the Fiscalía General de Justicia found evidence of an accumulation of gas from an adjacent property rather than an origin inside the taquería.
- The blast wave damaged four homes and one commercial premises, leaving 15 families — 32 adults and four minors — displaced and some residents temporarily sheltered or choosing alternative housing.
- City agencies led by Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada and the Alcaldía Álvaro Obregón have begun tapiado and apuntalamiento, will carry out demolitions as needed, and have pledged rent aid plus one-time payments of 40,000 MXN for each deceased family and 15,000 MXN for families of the seriously injured.
- Investigations continue with specialized units examining fires, explosions, gas installations, engineering and architecture, and authorities say their findings will determine legal responsibility and next steps for reconstruction.
