Tragedy struck near the Mexico-Guatemala border as six international migrants lost their lives when Mexican soldiers opened fire on a truck carrying a group of migrants. The incident occurred in the southern state of Chiapas, near the town of Huixtla, late Tuesday night.
The soldiers claimed they heard shots as the truck and two other vehicles approached their position. Upon opening fire on the truck, which was transporting migrants from Egypt, Nepal, Cuba, India, Pakistan, and other countries, four migrants were found dead, and 12 others were wounded. Sadly, two of the wounded migrants later succumbed to their injuries.
