Armed men set fire to at least six markets in Acapulco

Acapulco, one of the most famous tourist areas in the country, in the state of Guerrero (on the Pacific coast), suffered a new blow this Thursday when armed men attacked markets throughout the tourist destination.

At around 1:00 a.m., the criminals entered the central market, doused everything with fuel, and set fire to stalls where fish, fruit, and clothing are sold.

In the El Parazal handicraft market, another group entered and burned several stores, in addition to an aesthetic located on Velázquez de León Street, a few meters from the Z . . .
