Mexican students vandalized this Thursday the 35th Military Zone in Chilpancingo, capital of Guerrero, during a protest against the Mexican Army before the upcoming ninth anniversary of the disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa, on September 26.

The youth, accompanied by social organizations, demonstrated outside the barracks of the Armed Forces considering that they are implicated in the disappearance that occurred in the municipality of Iguala in 2014.

The protesters painted the stone walls of the barracks with phrases such as "It was the Army" and "Ayotzi lives" among others.

In addition, they removed one of the barricades from the main gate in order to [ram it with] a van belonging to a potato chip company.

The students blamed the military for having participated in the disappearance and for hiding key information to find the whereabouts of their comrades.

At the end of their speeches, the demonstrators threw explosives and rocks into the barracks and at the truck.

However, from inside, the [military police responded] with tear gas bombs.

The wind caused the gas to disperse to a nearby neighborhood [and intoxicated some 30] pre-school children.
