Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 63848, member: 636"] Drones armed with improvised devices struck a municipal police building in Escuinapa, Sinaloa, on Thursday, but authorities reported no casualties. Two devices hit a gymnasium roof at approximately 3 a.m., while a third detonated in the parking area. A fourth device failed to explode. State security officials confirmed the assault targeted police infrastructure, and investigators have not identified which faction orchestrated the strike. The attack follows heightened violence in Sinaloa after the July 2024 arrest of Ismael Zambada near El Paso, Texas. His capture triggered conflict between factions loyal to his family and supporters of El Chapo's sons. More than 2,000 people have died in the internal war. Cartels have previously deployed aerial devices against government targets in Michoacan. The U.S. State Department designated the Sinaloa Cartel and rival groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations earlier this year. [/QUOTE]
