A Mexican village warned of a cartel offensive during the World Cup. Then the drone attacks began
The cartel La Nueva Familia Michoacana launched bomb attacks using drones in Guajes de Ayala, Mexico, during the World Cup period in the early morning hours.
Residents of Guajes de Ayala warned Guerrero state law enforcement about increasing threats from the cartel before the attacks and shared drone footage on social media.
Mexican authorities denied the drone attacks despite locals livestreaming videos showing gunfire and smoke.
Security forces focused on major World Cup host cities, leaving rural areas like Guajes de Ayala vulnerable to cartel violence, as noted by Saucedo.
