Armed civilians opened fire on an Oxxo convenience store and set fire to a gas station in Cuitzeo, Michoacán, causing significant material destruction. Local fire crews responded quickly to battle the flames, which consumed portions of the gas station. Fortunately, authorities reported that there were no injuries in the incident; however, the reckless attack highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region.

The Secretary of Public Security for Michoacán reported that an inter-agency operation involving the Mexican Army, National Guard, and municipal police has been established in the area following the violent attacks. Despite the chaos, local police authorities noted that there have been no arrests made in connection with this particular incident, although efforts are underway to track down those responsible for the violence. This incident is part of a broader pattern of insecurity that has plagued Michoacán for an extended period.

In response to the unrest, both federal and state security authorities have increased their presence and resources in the area to ensure public safety and prevent further incidents. Although officials claim the situation is currently under control, the recurrence of violent acts such as this raises concerns about the effectiveness of security measures in place and the ongoing battle against organized crime in the region, making residents increasingly wary of their safety and stability in Michoacán.
