No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blasts occurred around 3 a.m. on Thursday in Escuinapa, where at least three improvised explosive devices struck the facilities of the municipal police, according to local outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/lineadirectaportal.com\/policiaca\/fueron-al-menos-tres-los-explosivos-arrojados-a-instalaciones-de-seguridad-publica-en-escuinapa-2025-10-02__1490581\">Linea Directa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two devices reportedly hit the roof of a gymnasium attached to the building, causing damage to a wall near where police motorcycles were stored. A third device exploded in the parking area, damaging the kitchen and shattering windows in nearby homes. Officials said one of the devices failed to detonate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State authorities described the incident as a deliberate attack on municipal police infrastructure. \u201cIt was an aggression, an attack with explosive devices, causing damage to the building,\u201d said a spokesperson for Sinaloa\u2019s public security ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Escuinapa lies in Sinaloa, a state at the heart of Mexico\u2019s cartel conflict. Violence there has intensified since the July 2024 capture of longtime cartel figure Ismael \u201cEl Mayo\u201d Zambada near El Paso, Texas, after he was allegedly lured into a trap by Joaqu\u00edn Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, one of the sons of Joaqu\u00edn \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzm\u00e1n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zambada&#8217;s arrest triggered a bloody internal war between factions loyal to his family and those supporting Los Chapitos, the collective group of El Chapo\u2019s sons. More than 2,000 people have been killed in the feud, including municipal and state police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of drones in Thursday\u2019s attack follows similar tactics reported in other parts of Mexico. In June, suspected cartel gunmen used explosives dropped from drones on a government building in Michoac\u00e1n, marking the first known case of such technology being deployed against municipal infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rival groups in that state, including the C\u00e1rtel de Jalisco Nueva Generaci\u00f3n (CJNG) and La Nueva Familia Michoacana, have also been accused of using explosive drones in their campaigns for control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. State Department earlier this year designated the Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, LNFM, and other criminal organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexican authorities have launched an investigation into Thursday\u2019s attack in Escuinapa but have not said which group they believe is responsible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drones carrying explosives damaged a police building in western Mexico, according to officials and local media, in the latest attack linked to the escalating cartel war in Sinaloa state.
