Fear that Zacatecas could be a war zone; narco-juniors in conflict

AI summary world

The explosion of a car bomb against the police headquarters in Zacatecas, attributed to the CJNG, is generating uncertainty about a possible escalation of violence. An expert suggests that the most serious scenario is that Zacatecas is being used as a pawn in a "war of the narco-juniors," where attacks aim to intimidate authorities and destabilize the region. This conflict might not be local, but part of a national narco geopolitics, with the worsening situation in Zacatecas serving as a distraction for other operations. The analyst warns that, with changes in cartel leadership, a new and more complex phase of confrontation could be beginning in several states.
