In a radio interview with Grupo Fórmula, Attorney General Cristian Paul Camacho explained that on Sunday night, there was an armed attack against the Ojocaliente police station, allegedly carried out by a criminal group that 'unfortunately... used explosives.' 'We have a total of 11 injured, including police officers, and so far there are no fatalities. The situation was addressed yesterday and controlled by various security agencies,' he stated. In this regard, the Mexican government's Security Cabinet indicated in a social media message that 'following the attack with an explosive device against the Municipal Police Command of Ojocaliente, Zacatecas,' the institutions that make up the Cabinet 'are collaborating with state authorities in the investigations to clarify the events, identify, and apprehend those responsible.' Additionally, municipal, state, and federal authorities are reinforcing security operations in the area to protect the population. The attack with explosives was described by media in Zacatecas as a car bomb explosion, and according to reports supported by the attorney general himself, the attack may have been carried out by hitmen from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
