Pyrotechnics-related explosions have continued to occur in Mexico. In late September, an explosion in a drying room at a workshop in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, was visible from several hundred meters away, though authorities reported no injuries or fatalities. This incident was noted as the 17th pyrotechnics-related explosion in the State of Mexico in 2026, contributing to a year-to-date total of 20 deaths and 101 injuries.

In early October, a separate explosion occurred at a pyrotechnics warehouse in Salamanca. The blast destroyed a storage module and resulted in one worker being hospitalized in serious condition. The Mexican Army took control of the site to manage the area while authorities investigated the cause.
