A Navy helicopter crashed Saturday in the municipality of Centla, Tabasco, the state Attorney General’s Office confirmed to Animal Político.
So far it is unknown if there are people killed or injured as a result of this fact.
The prosecutor’s office indicated that the first responders to the incident were members of the municipal police.
Videos captured by social media users, whose authenticity was confirmed by the prosecution, show the moment in which the helicopter loses its trajectory, begins to circle in the air and collapses.

The incident comes just a few days after the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) reported that the Navy helicopter that collapsed this year in Sinaloa, after the operation to arrest drug trafficker Rafael Caro Quintero, crashed due to “lack of fuel.”
As a result of that accident, 14 sailors died.
