Seven members of a criminal organization linked to drug trafficking died in a shootout with the Mexican military on the U.S. border, ABC reported.
According to police, cartel members attacked soldiers three miles from the U.S. border. One soldier and seven gang members were killed in the shooting.
It was the second shooting in two weeks.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the November shooting was triggered by the arrest of a drug cartel leader, but did not elaborate.
