Guerrero, do you have more information?

Go ahead with the report. Good morning.

Good morning, José. I'm happy to greet you and the audience of Luz Noticias.

I would like to tell you that a video circulating on social media reveals an alleged drone attack. According to unofficial sources, residents of the communities of La Cumbre and Los Táscates reported that explosive devices were launched from drones and caused damage in the area. The video released shows two completely burned-out trucks that were located on the side of the road between Los Táscates and Santa Rosa, just minutes from the La Cumbre community. The alleged drone attack allegedly caused a forest fire that consumed dozens of pine trees in the area until the mountain residents themselves managed to extinguish the flames. It also emerged, José, that some residents of the community of San Isidro Choic have reported clashes between rival groups and are reportedly requesting the intervention of federal forces to move to a safe place. These are impressive images being shared on social media. There you have them. They are some completely burned-out trucks. This information cannot be confirmed directly by the authorities. 

We were talking with the mayor of Choice, Jonida Game, about this alleged drone attack. 2:16. 2:19. It was also said that the mayor of Choix herself had been kidnapped. In some virtual media outlets or on social media, the mayor of Choix, Jonida Gamez, answered the phone. She clarified that she continues to work normally, that there was no such kidnapping, and denied the reports about this deprivation of her liberty. She commented that Choix is ​​​​calm right now. Don't hang up on me, Maricela. 

We are going to talk about what happened in Constancia El Fuerte this weekend, too. But we will hear about it first. What the mayor of Choix said: They've been trying to denigrate me and my actions as mayor, but there hasn't been a need to shelter anyone, thank God. Eh, it's more than true. What has been reported, and concerning me and this kidnapping issue, well, right now, I'm working and making a commitment to the people that everything I'm supposed to do, I will do if we need to shelter people, if we need to support them, we will do it. It's more than anything false. What she said, Estela, can you imagine what they've told me to ask me how I'm doing? That I'm okay, even my mother they worried me, and well, no, the truth is, no, nothing's happening. I'm here, I'm fine. Well, that's what's happening in the municipality of Choik. They even said that the mayor, Joneida, had been kidnapped, and she clarified that she was fine, that she was calm.
