Tragedy struck in the northern Mexican border city of San Luis Rio Colorado as a bar became the target of a suspected arson attack, resulting in the loss of eleven lives. According to authorities in the state of Sonora, the incident occurred after an expelled patron returned to the bar with a Molotov cocktail, setting it ablaze.

The individual had reportedly been ejected from the bar due to his disrespectful behaviour towards women inside.
