Gunmen fired a dozen shots at the headquarters of El Debate newspaper in Culiacan, Sinaloa, a state in northern Mexico known for its ongoing cartel violence. The attack left at least four bullet impacts on the building's walls and damaged vehicles parked outside. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The Mexican Media Alliance condemned the incident as a direct assault on press freedom and the public's right to information. The assailants, arriving in two vehicles, briefly stopped in front of the building. One gunman disembarked and fired shots before fleeing the scene.
