Mexico finds 11 bodies in drug-ridden state
Mexican authorities say at least 11 bodies have been found in the country's eastern state of Veracruz over the past two days.
In a statement, Veracruz state prosecutor’s office said the bodies have been discovered in two locations.
Six bodies were found in the southern town of San Juan Evangelista, while the remaining five were discovered on a road near the state’s capital, Xalapa.
According to an unnamed municipal police, all of the victims had gunshot wounds in the head. Further details have not been released.
Veracruz has been witnessing fighting between drug gangs such as the Jalisco New Generation Drug Cartel, the Zetas, and the Gulf Cartel in recent months.
The Gulf of Mexico state is considered one of the country’s most dangerous states.
On November 10, as many as 12 people were killed and a number of others injured in a shooting by unknown gunmen in the state of Guerrero.
Earlier this month, Mexican authorities found two mass graves containing the remains of more than 100 people in the central state of Morelos.
Mexico has been dealing with a serious threat posed by drug cartels in recent years. Over 100,000 people have lost their lives or gone missing in drug-related violence across Mexico since 2006.
