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.
Preliminary findings from Sonora state prosecutors indicate that the suspect was a young male who was heavily intoxicated at the time of the attack, which took place in the early hours of Saturday. The individual had reportedly been ejected from the bar due to his disrespectful behaviour towards women inside.
