National Police arrested a man suspected of drug distribution in Morazán, Yoro, during a raid operation.

A 22-year-old man in Yoro climbed onto a bridge over the Machigua River on Friday morning; firefighters talked him to safety and turned him over to his mother after psychological support.

Firefighters in Yoro used a wooden board to free a 7-year-old boy who became trapped between the cargo box and cab of a pickup truck in El Pantano neighborhood; the cause of the incident and any injuries remain unclear.

Three of Honduras's five massacres so far this year have occurred in Yoro department, where rival criminal gangs, maras, drug-trafficking networks, and land-invasion groups are competing for territory across municipalities including Olanchito, El Progreso, and Sulaco.
