Mexico’s fastest growing cartel has allegedly deployed drones packed with C4 explosives as it battles against armed residents for control over a city.
For over a year now, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has attempted to exert its influence on the western city of Tepalcatepec.
However, a group of armed residents say they have withstood the attacks and are fighting back despite countless deaths and injuries on both sides.
Now the residents say the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which also has a presence across several cities in the United States, have turned to equipping drones with explosives as part of their menacing strategy.
In interviews with Mexican outlets Noticieros Televisa and La Silla Rota, armed men who form part of Tepalcatepec’s auto-defense group showed off some of the homemade bombs they have discovered.
