The violence generated by drug cartels in the state of Jalisco has reached alarming levels, as confrontations, executions and ambushes against the authorities are recorded practically daily.
One of the most recent attacks occurred in the municipality of Teocaltiche, where gunmen from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) attacked a military convoy that was on the side of a road, leaving three soldiers dead and another 3 injured.
The unfortunate event was recorded by a camera installed in an army unit, and in the images you can see in detail the attack suffered by the soldiers from armored vehicles known as “monster trucks”.
According to the coordinator of the Security Cabinet of the government of Jalisco, Ricardo Sánchez Beruben, the elements of the Mexican Army were carrying out a security and surveillance operation when they encountered the members of the CJNG.
I leave the video uncut, because out of courage I didn’t put anything in order.
I am not going to upload the rest of the cruder images and videos.
To give you an idea of the situation in the country under this narco-government, the criminals’ armored vehicles have armor against drone attacks… pic.twitter.com/9hxzK0kCO7— Emilio Cosgaya Rodríguez (@cosgaya_emilio) November 19, 2023
In the clip you can see a modified white truck from which the armed men shot at the soldiers, whom They did not have time to react and they only tried to protect themselves from the bullets..
Seconds later, a second truck parks next to the Army vehicle and another exchange of fire begins, which lasts for a couple of minutes. Before the video ends, one of the bullets can be seen hitting the glass of one of the units, behind which the camera that recorded everything was placed.
Regarding this unfortunate fact, the governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, pointed out that the attacks could be a reaction to the operations undertaken by the Secretary of National Defense (Sedena) to arrest the regional leader of the CJNG, Heraclio Guerrero Martínezalias “El Tío Laco”.
It should be noted that the Teocaltiche region is an area in dispute between the CJNG and the Sinaloa Cartelbecause it is a point adjacent to the state of Zacatecas.
Recently, state authorities dismantled clandestine monitoring centers installed by organized crime in that municipality, where they also found a homemade explosives factory and seized drones that were used to launch bombs.
