Sedena warned that crime groups such as the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) are using explosive drones to carry out attacks.
However, he assured that they were not that harmful because they cannot load that many quantities.
‘As for the use of drones as a means explosivewe found that there are some cartels that use this, the Jalisco New Generation CartelThere have been some cases in Guanajuato, others in Jalisco, in Michoacán, ” General Luis Cresencio Sandoval revealed during the president’s morning conference.
“But they don’t matter, they aren’t the effectiveness they might want, they’ve been ineffective because they can’t transport quantities that are so harmful to staff or a facility.
The head of the Sedena said that after an attack with these types of drones on the police in Aguililla, Michoacán, one inmate has been detained and only two have been injured.
“According to the information we have, I believe there were apparently only two left with wounds in the arm and one leg, it was apparently all the damage they did to the state police with that device,” he said.
Mexico ended up with 34,552 victims of willful murder in 2020, a number slightly lower than the 34,681 cases in 2019.
