Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Security and Civilian Protection Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed on Thursday the deaths of at least two law enforcement officers following violent cartel-related clashes in central Mexico.
The violence was part of ongoing confrontations between rival criminal groups vying for territorial control. Drug cartels set up roadblocks and torched vehicles and businesses across 29 municipalities in Michoacán, Jalisco and Guanajuato, authorities said.
