How have the tactics and weaponry used in the Sinaloa Cartel conflict evolved, and what are the implications for security forces?

The explosion is part of a broader pattern of escalating violence in Sinaloa, fueled by the conflict between Los Mayos and Los Chapitos. This violence has included the use of drones to deliver explosives, as evidenced by a previous incident in Las Arenitas and the discovery of a burned drone at the explosion site. The conflict has led to significant economic losses, with an estimated 18 billion pesos and 25,000 jobs lost.
