Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, addressed the media regarding an incident involving the Aguilar family in Zacatecas. She clarified that the family experienced an attack while passing through an area that was undergoing a security operation, but emphasized that they were not the intended targets of the attack. Fortunately, no one in the Aguilar family was harmed, and immediate protection was provided to them following the incident.

During her morning press conference at the National Palace, Sheinbaum expressed her relief that the Aguilar family is safe and confirmed that there had been ongoing communication with them to ensure their safety. She explained that the incident arose from the family passing through a hot spot of activity related to the security operation, which unfortunately put them in harm’s way, but reiterated that it was not a targeted attack against them.

This incident highlights the precarious security situation in regions like Zacatecas, where conflicts and violence often affect innocent bystanders. Sheinbaum’s statements aim to reassure the public about the safety of individuals caught up in such situations and underline the need for transparency regarding security operations. The government continues to face challenges in improving safety and reducing violence in areas with significant criminal activity.
