In the Potrero de Tepeaca, north of Los Alisos, there is a mine that has been the scene of a tragic incident. Approximately two hours of uphill walking from the town of Santiago de los Caballeros, the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, confirmed the event and activated a rescue operation that included personnel from Civil Protection, the Mexican Army, and the National Guard.
It is estimated that at least five people are trapped after the collapse that occurred in the mine, although the exact details of the accident and the precise number of workers present have not yet been confirmed. Rescue efforts began at noon with the arrival of emergency teams from Culiacán and Badiraguato at the site after receiving the distress alert.
Authorities are focused on ensuring the safety of the trapped workers and carrying out their rescue as soon as possible. Despite the lack of official information about the conditions they are in, the local community fears for the safety of the miners and awaits a prompt response from the authorities.
This tragic event occurs amid internal tensions between factions of the Sinaloa Cartel, which could add an additional layer of complexity to the situation in the region. Uncertainty and urgency mark the atmosphere in the sierra of Badiraguato, where the rescue operation remains active in an effort to ensure the safety and life of those trapped.
