Members of the Mexican Navy and other federal agencies clashed with alleged members of a criminal cell linked to the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), resulting in 12 deaths and nine arrests.
The violent confrontation took place after a series of citizen reports raised suspicions that the remote community of Huizontla, Michoacán, was being used as a hideout for one of the CJNG's armed wings.
