The attack took place between an organized crime group and members of the Fuerza Civil,
Mexican Army and the National Guard.
The State Government confirmed the confrontation and seizure in the southern area of the state, bordering the state of Coahuila.
“The operation also resulted in the seizure of tactical equipment, several magazines and rounds of different calibers.
Operation Muralla involved elements of the Nuevo Leon Civil Force, National Guard and Defense, with the support of the National Intelligence Center, the Attorney General’s Office, the State Attorney General’s Office and the municipal corporations in the area,” states the official text.
