In a tragic and alarming series of incidents, at least 22 individuals, including a dozen police officers, lost their lives in a day of intense violence in central and southwestern Mexico, according to authorities.
The most severe attack unfolded in Guerrero state’s municipality of Coyuca de Benitez, where unidentified assailants targeted a security patrol, resulting in the deaths of 11 municipal police officers. This grim incident brought the total number of officers killed this year to over 340, as reported by the non-profit group Causa en Comun.
