Explosive-laden drones struck Badiraguato, the hometown of jailed drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, forcing dozens to flee, Sinaloa’s governor said. Authorities gave no dates; displaced residents said the attacks began in September, with one citing Sept. 16. Witnesses reported strikes near Guzman’s family farm, blocked access to properties, and power cutoffs, threatening more than 80 families. The government is assisting evacuees, and AFP sought confirmation of the reported targets. Days earlier, three explosive drones hit the prosecutor’s office in Tijuana, causing damage but no injuries, as criminal groups in Mexico increasingly use weaponized drones.
