Mexican drug cartels throwing explosives along Texas southern border

Mexican drug cartel operatives continue to engage in violent acts along the southern border of Texas near the Rio Grande, as new video shows them throwing explosives as an intimidation tactic, authorities say.

The Texas Department of Public Safety posted video to social media on Wednesday showing both thermal and non-thermal views of a group of cartel operatives, as identified by DPS, throwing the explosives. In the thermal view, the video highlights a group of what appears to be four operatives throwing two objects which explode just seconds after.
