“The hometown of jailed drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman has been hit in attacks by explosive-laden drones, the governor of the northwest Mexican state of Sinaloa said on Tuesday. Authorities did not specify when the strikes on Badiraguato, Guzman’s birthplace and the historical stronghold of drug trafficking in Mexico, took place. Displaced residents said attacks in the region began in September. Dozens of residents were forced to leave the area, Governor Ruben Rocha Moya told a news conference. … The attack in Guzman’s hometown comes just days after a drone attack hit the prosecutor’s office in the Mexican border city of Tijuana.” (10/29/25)
