Sinaloa: Armed clashes and explosive drones reported in La Cofradía
Residents of La Cofradía, a rural area in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, were forced to shelter in their homes during intense armed clashes that lasted approximately three hours. Reports from local residents and community chats indicate that the violence, which began shortly after midnight, involved gunmen in camouflage clothing and the use of drones to drop explosive devices.
During the confrontation, a white double-cabin pickup truck lost control and crashed into a tree near the El Recodo highway. The accident downed electricity cables, resulting in a power outage for part of the town. This incident follows a series of violent events in the same region over the past 48 hours, including the discovery of a burned Jeep Rubicon on the El Vainillo-El Recodo state road earlier in the week.
