Video Shows CJNG Member Burying Landmine in Apatzingán, Michoacán

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat


A new video posted by a CJNG member on TikTok shows a sicario burying and preparing a homemade landmine, likely somewhere near Apatzingán, Michoacán.

The 18 second video was posted by TikTok user Pantera.r25, a user who has uploaded several videos suggesting he is a member of the CJNG operating in Michoacán. In the video, a man is seen arranging and testing wires coming from a half buried explosive using a multimeter.



Landmines are one of the rarer forms of improvised explosive devices in Mexico, mostly being used to stop incursions from rival groups and the gov on unofficial access roads in the countryside called "brechas" in the states of Michoacán and Tamaulipas. 

In Michoacán, landmines were initially used by the CJNG in their fight against Carteles Unidos around 2021, but now several groups involved in the conflict have begun creating and deploying their own. Government figures on the number of landmines in the state are hard to find, but according to InfoBae, in the first quarter of 2022, the Mexican Army deactivated more than 150 mines just in Tepalcatepec. The usage of all explosives has greatly increased in the last several years, so updated figures would likely far exceed the 2022 data point.

  1. The ferocious CJNG 4 letters are stronger than ever. Everyone hoped the CJNG would crumble in pcs after the lord of the roosters retirement. That was an incorrect assessment, sure they have taken some hits but the 03 ROSALINDA AND THE CUINIS ARE NO STRANGERS TO ADVERSITY AND HAVE PRETTYVMUCH KEPT TJE 4 LETTERS OPERATING SMOOTHLY IN EVERY BORDER CROSSING WHICH IS WHERE THE MONEY IS ..YES CJNG IS EVEN JUAREZ

  3. In a few years this is common knowledge and will be teached in their training camps across the country. Next to drone usage and EID tech. Hard times ahead for the mexican army and the police.

  4. Mines were first used by Carteles Unidos around 2021. Cartel de Tepaltepec being the first to use them. Drones Cartel de Tepaltepec were also the first to use them first as surveillance to monitor CJNG incursions into Tepaltepec then to drop improvised explosives on CJNG monstros. CJNG was late to the game when it came to mines and drones but now they dominate when it comes to the amount they can use.

    I don't understand why CJNG always gets blamed for the mines found in Teplatepec when It's obvious mines are used mostly defensively and Tepaltepec is on the defensive.
