At least 10 members of the National Guard have been injured in a car bomb explosion in the town of Sauz de Villaseñor, in Celaya, Guanajuato State. Three of the 10 National Guardsmen are in "critical condition", while the other seven have minor injuries. Everything points to the possibility of a new ambush with explosives, a technique used by drug traffickers in the state to spread terror.
At around 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, a car exploded when agents were responding to a report of a vehicle shot and abandoned at the intersection of the federal highway between Celaya and Salvatierra and Río Lerma street. The place where the attack took place is a residential area in the municipality of Celaya, towards the south of the city. Upon approaching the car, the explosive charge inside was detonated, according to the authorities.
