Three municipal police officers from Acámbaro were injured by the explosion of a car bomb near the Public Security facilities. One of the officers, a woman, is in serious condition and was immediately taken to a hospital. The other two officers sustained minor injuries and did not require hospitalization. Additionally, four nearby houses and seven private vehicles were affected by the explosion.
In the neighboring municipality of Jerécuaro, another explosion was reported in the downtown area, this time involving a Municipal Police patrol. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the entrances of the area were destroyed, and damage was recorded to shops and homes. The explosion knocked out electricity and Internet service in the downtown area of Jerécuaro.
Following these attacks, the governor of Guanajuato, Libia García, suspended her agenda to convene a security meeting with the mayors of Acámbaro and Jerécuaro, as well as with elements of SEDENA, the National Guard, and state and federal prosecutors. A joint operation was deployed by land and air to address the situation and ensure safety in the region.
Governor García emphasized that the pacification of Guanajuato is the priority and that coordinated efforts are being made among all levels of government to achieve it. The Guanajuato Prosecutor's Office is investigating the incidents, and experts are continuing to gather information to clarify what happened.
