Cars were set ablaze across Mexico’s Jalisco state on Sunday after federal authorities carried out a security operation, according to Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro.
The governor announced the incidents on social media Sunday afternoon, stating that the federal operation took place in Tapalpa, a city within Jalisco, and resulted in confrontations in the region.
Navarro did not identify which organizations were part of the conflicts and offered no additional details about the nature of the federal operation.
News organizations in the area reported that cars were seen burning in Guadalajara, the state’s largest city.
