Mexican armed forces have arrested 17 suspected cartel members allegedly linked to the deaths of six soldiers killed by a landmine explosion in the state of Michoacán on Tuesday.
Earlier this week, an armored vehicle from a special task force unit triggered a homemade landmine while traveling along a dirt road in the small community of El Santuario, in the municipality of Los Reyes. The blast killed six members of the military and seriously injured two others.
