周日晚间，萨卡特卡斯州欧哈卡连特市一座警察局外发生汽车炸弹爆炸，200公斤炸药造成11人受伤，60多栋房屋受损1。这一事件凸显了墨西哥贩毒集团暴力手段的不断升级。
据统计，今年迄今萨卡特卡斯州已记录23起涉及爆炸物的袭击事件，其中6起涉及装满炸药的汽车或摩托车1。墨西哥贩毒集团约在5年前开始更广泛地使用爆炸物1。近年来相关暴力事件频繁发生：2023年西部哈利斯科州的路边炸弹造成6人死亡、14人受伤1；2024年当局在米却肯州排除了近3,200个爆炸装置1；2025年该州一枚爆炸装置导致8名士兵死亡1。布鲁金斯学会有组织犯罪专家范达·费尔巴布-布朗指出："这对墨西哥是一个坏的发展。我们正面临暴力的稳定加剧。"1
特朗普政府已将8个墨西哥贩毒集团定性为外国恐怖组织1。然而，墨西哥长期拒绝将贩毒集团暴力描述为恐怖主义，担忧这可能引发外国干预并伤害旅游业和投资1。
Mexican drug trafficking organizations are increasingly resorting to car bombs, drones, and improvised explosive devices in their attacks, marking a significant escalation in the country's ongoing cartel violence.1 On Sunday evening, an explosion detonated outside a police station in Ojinaga, located approximately 360 miles northwest of Mexico City in Zacatecas state, injuring 11 people and damaging over 60 residences, with the blast attributed to 200 kilograms of explosives.1
The scale of this weaponization has grown substantially in recent years.1 So far this year, Zacatecas state alone has recorded 23 attacks involving explosives, with six of those involving vehicles or motorcycles laden with explosives.1 Mexican drug cartels began employing explosives more widely approximately five years ago.1 The violence has claimed numerous lives across the country: a 2023 roadside bomb in the western state of Jalisco killed six people and wounded 14, while authorities in Michoacan state dismantled nearly 3,200 explosive devices in 2024, and in 2025 a single device killed eight soldiers in that state.1
The Trump administration has designated eight Mexican drug trafficking organizations as foreign terrorist entities.1 Vanda Felbab-Brown, an organized crime expert at the Brookings Institution, characterized the trend as troubling, stating: "This is a bad development for Mexico. We are facing a steady escalation of violence."1 However, Mexico has long resisted classifying cartel violence as terrorism, citing concerns that such designations could provoke foreign intervention and harm the country's tourism and investment sectors.1
