According to authorities, the state of emergency is associated with conflicts between organized criminal groups.
It is assumed that the attackers attacked the bar and set it on fire, throwing it with “Molotov cocktails”.
The Governor of Veracruz, Quitlauac Garcia, said the authorities were able to identify the alleged organizer of the attack. We are talking about a criminal who in July this year was detained by law enforcement agencies, but then released without charge.
Earlier it was reported that in the city of Irapuato in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, as a result of an armed attack on visitors to a billiard club, eight people were killed and three others were injured.
