It has not been possible to determine whether the operation in the mountainous area of ​​Rosario by military authorities, where weapons and drones with explosive devices were detected, caused the blockade of the Mexico 15 highway at the height of the El Rosario bridge on Thursday morning.

The spokesperson for the State Public Security Secretariat (SSPE), Verona Hernández Valenzuela, indicated that more information is being awaited from the federal authorities, who are the ones who conducted the tour of the mountainous area, where armed clashes were allegedly being reported.

“In the case of local and state authorities, the units were withdrawn, the presence of armed civilians in that place was not confirmed, therefore, no other situation can be confirmed than the one that actually occurred, which was the blockade.”
-Nor detainees?
“We cannot confirm this until the authorities, the Mexican Navy and Army, and the National Guard, give us some information,” said the official during the press conference of the State Government spokesperson.

Spokeswoman Hernández Valenzuela explained that only the abandoned cargo trucks blocking the bridge over the Baluarte River were located, since the keys were taken from the drivers and they were told to leave and proceeded to block the road.

It was around noon on the same Thursday that the municipal and state authorities proceeded to remove the trucks that were blocking the bridge and traffic was resumed on both lanes.
