18th April 2026
Hitmen from the Michoacán New Generation Cartel unleashed chaos on the Buenavista-Los Reyes highway after intercepting and hijacking a truck. Without mercy, the criminals set the truck ablaze, leaving it engulfed in flames in the middle of the road to block traffic and sow terror in the region. The attack occurred with complete impunity just one kilometer from a National Guard base, representing a direct challenge to federal forces. So far, no arrests have been reported for this act of narcoterrorism that paralyzed one of Michoacán's most important trade routes. The area remains under intense tension as truckers and civilians demand real security in the face of the relentless advance of criminal groups that control the highways. The flames of the burned-out truck reflect a state where organized crime dictates the rules right under the noses of the authorities.
