Mexico-Nogales Highway Blocked
Following clashes between rival groups and attacks on homes in the cities of Guamúchil and Mocorito, it was reported that the Mexico-Nogales Highway, near Las Brisas, in Guasave, was blocked with two semi-trucks, stranding dozens of drivers traveling in both directions.
Drivers are being warned on social media not to drive in the area, fearing that confrontations between opposing groups could escalate into violent disputes and result in them being caught in the crossfire.
