SAA event in Mexico on Fri 24th April 2026

Direct attack against the State Civil Guard in Tamazunchale, San Luis Potosí. This afternoon, on the old road to San Rafael, in the La Cruz sector, a police convoy was shot at by armed civilians. The preliminary toll: one officer dead and at least two agents wounded. Our reporter in the area confirmed that the official vehicle sustained multiple bullet impacts to the body and windshield, while the road was completely closed after the attack. The area is identified as disputed territory with a presence of the Gulf Cartel, Matamoros faction, known as “Los Escorpiones” (The Scorpions), a group that has sought to expand operations into the Huasteca region of San Luis Potosí, a key area due to its transportation routes. This is not an isolated incident. In recent weeks, similar attacks against state forces have been reported in southern San Luis Potosí, indicating a pattern of direct pressure against local law enforcement agencies. The offensive aims to weaken the police presence in strategic locations. As of now, there is no official report of arrests. The area remains under guard while an operation is underway to locate those responsible.
