Two Mexican soldiers died this week after stepping on explosive mines allegedly planted by criminal groups in the municipality of Cotija, in Michoacan. Five others reported injuries and were taken to area hospitals to be treated.
The narco-mine was planted by criminal groups in the community of Gallineros, per Mexican news outlet Corresponsales. Following the attack, the Michoacán Public Security Secretariat airlifted the two fatally injured soldiers by helicopter, but they passed away moments later.
