A modified consumer drone was used in a bombing raid on a rival drug
cartel in Mexico on Monday. Video from the cartel-operated drone shows
several bombs were dropped on a rival camp in a new turf war.
According to the Spanish-language daily newspaper El Pais, the drone was
operated by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and bombed a rival
cartel in the state of Michoacan. At least one person was injured in the
attack. The entire incident was caught on video.

A second video shows the camp's destruction after a series of bombs were
dropped. Then the drone abruptly spirals out of control and crashes to the
ground. It was likely the drone was shot down by small arms fire.

Founded in 2009, CJNG is considered one of Mexico's most dangerous and
powerful cartels. The cartel has flooded the US with fentanyl and
methamphetamine and unleashed a war among rivals to control supply chains
into the US.
The Drug Enforcement Administration described CJNG as "one of Mexico's
most violent and prolific drug trafficking organizations." The very fact
the cartel is using consumer drones strapped with bombs, which mimic ones
used in Syria by terror organizations, is alarming.
Meanwhile, it's only a matter of time before cartel violence spills over
into the US. Several months ago, [70]heavily armed drug cartel members
