Six injured in car bomb explosion in front of a police station in Mexico

Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 08:00

A car bomb explosion injured six people in front of a police station in Mexico. The attack occurred in Zacatecas, a city that has become a frequent scene of violence linked to organized crime.

Zacatecas is described as a strategic point for drug trafficking. The region connects central Mexico with the northern and western zones of the country, being one of the most important areas for drug transport.

The city's geographic location makes it a fundamental route for sending cocaine and other drugs to the United States. For this reason, various criminal groups dispute control of this territory, which has generated frequent confrontations in the region.
