Guachochi experiences a terrifying dawn with bursts of gunfire and grenade explosions

 

The city experienced another night of terror.

 

Bursts of gunfire and grenade explosions were constant in the early hours of the morning.

 

Reports suggest that the military repelled an armed attack.

 

Citizens reported seeing several vehicles with armed civilians in the central streets and in the CBTA area, the perimeter ring and the CAAPS (Advanced Primary Care Centre).

 

There were also reports of military mobilisation and several bursts of high-calibre gunfire, which could indicate a confrontation between armed civilians and the army.

 

Facebook and WhatsApp were used to alert the population to a curfew, as the safety of anyone on the streets after 9 p.m. couldn’t be guaranteed.

 

Telephone and Internet service was cut off. There is no official information from the authorities or on the outcome of the shooting.
