JAKARTA - Mexican authorities said on Sunday, at least 14 people were killed in an armed attack on a prison in the northern border town ofTEN and two others were killed during armed aggression later elsewhere in the city.

State Prosecutor penurutkan dalam sebuah pernyataan, di antara mereka yang tewas dalam serangan penjara itu adalah 10 personel keamanan dan empat penjara, sementara 13 lainnya terluka dan menyata 24 melarikan diri.

Launching Reuters on January 2, it is not clear who carried out the armed attack.

Prosecutors said preliminary investigations found the attackers arrived at around 7 a.m. local time in prison in armored vehicles and opened fire.

Minutes earlier, authorities had reported the nearest attack on city police. After the pursuit, four people were arrested and a truck seized.

On the other hand of the city, two more drivers died at a later date following what the authorities called armed aggression.

However, the state prosecutor did not specify whether the three incidents were related.

In August, hundreds of Mexican soldiers were sent to their homes, after two cartels competing in prison faced each other, causing riots and gunfire that killed 11 people, most civilians.
