Mexico's new president confirmed that three civilians, including a child, lost their lives in two separate shootouts involving the military in Nuevo Laredo, a violent border city. President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed that a soldier was also killed during one of the incidents, which occurred last week and are currently under investigation.

The first incident took place when a nurse, her husband, and son encountered soldiers pursuing suspects' vehicles. Tragically, the nurse lost her life in the crossfire. President Sheinbaum emphasized that criminal groups in Nuevo Laredo have frequently targeted the army and National Guard.
