On 17 October, a Mexican organized crime group launched a makeshift drone attack on the Baja California State Attorney General’s anti-kidnapping unit in Tijuana, near the U.S. border. The drones, carrying improvised explosives, damaged several vehicles but caused no casualties. Tijuana, a key crossing point and hub for cross-border drug trafficking, remains a hotspot for cartel activity. The incident marks an escalation in cartel-state violence and prompted a U.S. Consulate security alert. Businesses with assets in Baja California face heightened security risks and possible movement disruptions amid increased law enforcement presence.
