"Violent Assault on Mexican Police Station Amid Ongoing Search for Abducted Officers"

Assailants attacked a police station in Chiapas, Mexico, with an explosive device as the search continued for 16 police employees who were abducted at gunpoint on a local highway. The incident highlights a turf battle between cartels for control over drug and immigrant trafficking in the state. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed the kidnappings were part of a clash between two gangs. The spread of cartel conflict to Chiapas marks an escalation, as the state had previously been spared from drug cartel violence. Over 1,000 law enforcement officers are conducting a search for the missing police employees.
