The explosion destroyed three trucks that were allegedly used by ‘huachicoleros‘ (fuel thieves).

The Municipal Civil Protection Unit reported that at 8:00 am on Tuesday December 12 it was reported that a pipeline was in flames, so they immediately moved to the site for the implementation of the corresponding security protocols.
