At least six people have been killed, including three security personnel, in two separate armed confrontations in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
Local government officials reported that the first incident occurred in Abasolo, a town in the center of the state, where three individuals were killed following an attack on state police officers.
The second shooting, also in Abasolo, involved armed assailants targeting a hotel where security personnel were staying, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers and one police officer.
Tamaulipas has been plagued by violence linked to organized crime and drug trafficking organizations.
The state has seen frequent clashes between rival gangs and security forces, contributing to a high level of instability and danger in the region.
The recent incidents highlight the ongoing security challenges faced by both law enforcement and civilians in the area.
As the situation continues to develop, authorities are expected to increase their efforts to address the violence and ensure the safety of residents and security personnel alike.
