Army soldiers and the National Guard were ambushed twice in one day by Tropa del Infierno hitmen of the Northeast Cartel (or Cartel del Noreste, CDN) in Nuevo Laredo, a border city within the state of Tamaulipas. Both ambushes led to full on gun battles, the result of which left 8 CDN hitmen dead.
On June 1 2021 at approximately 6:50 pm Army (SEDENA) soldiers were ambushed in the Madero neighborhood of Nuevo Laredo, which is on the southeastern side of the city. The ambush took place near Degollado and Durango street.
The soldiers were ambushed by vehicles of armed men while they were travelling on Degollado street and after the armed men began shooting towards them, the SEDENA soldiers returned fire. A full-on gunfight ensued between the two groups. The ultimate result of this firefight was three dead cartel hitmen. Four long barrel firearms were seized afterwards. Reports differ on whether 2 SUVs were seized (as reported by Frontera al Rojo Vivo) or one SUV with armor plating (as reported by Excelsior).

Of note, the location of this firefight occurred just a few blocks away from the U.S. Consulate. U.S. diplomats announced on their social media account:
"The U.S. Consulate is tracking reports of gunfire at various locations in Nuevo Laredo. U.S. government personnel are advised to shelter in place until 6 am on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Please follow local media for updates."
Roughly an hour later, a second confrontation took place in the Villas de San Miguel neighborhood of Nuevo Laredo, which is on the far west side of the city and a roughly 25 minute drive away. Cartel hitmen reportedly opened fire from inside a black Ford Explorer type SUV at National Guard members on San Eliseo street.

(I have no explanation for why some of the photos can only be found in black and white and not color)
Why do they not show the soldiers death Mexican government a bunch of puppet government controles by someone else they don’t want people to realize they die too just like everyone else.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the article no soldier's were killed. But 8 hitmen have left to hell.
DeleteI know right, they are not super humas, even if the death to kill ratio is far superior, one would expect at least one to die lol
DeleteMaybe because the 8 dead persons were cartel people.
DeleteUnless you're sure some of the dead were military
Yes, they do die just like everyone else. However normal human beings don't choose to celebrate the deaths of people risking their lives to combat the actual shit storm that Mexico has become. On the other hand people don't mind so much celebrating the deaths of mass murdering, tweeker, rapist, extortionists. Hopefully you can understand that... but I won't hold my breath.
Delete@11:39 the biggest celebrators on this site are the Leo pigs that rejoice anytime they see any dead Mexicans labeled as “criminals”
DeleteCDN gives no fucks they always attacking the military
ReplyDeleteSon puro morrillo cagengue que andas bien foqueados y por eso se avientan pero no le pegan a nada! Nomas se los tumban a ellos
DeleteTrue dat
Delete2 can play that game. GN gives no fucks they hardly take prisoners.
DeleteIt's like they have a death wish confronting .military.
DeleteCrazy bunch of people.
Well &#@k you.
DeleteBola de pendejos, the problem is not if military got killed or if that part of the news is classified, the problem is exessive kills, no survivors or wounded, that means they got executed and were not given any other options, most prolly got set up by both GN and their own "cartel"

ReplyDeleteAMC to the moon
ReplyDeleteHEARST thx for reporting on the gulf side of Mexico....
ReplyDeleteSeems in the past the western side was the only information past along in this decades old war....
GC
It's harder to find news sources on cartel activity on the east, probably due to some censorship, but it's just as important as everywhere else. Maybe more so because it doesn't get the same amount of coverage.
DeleteKilos of cocaine with Escobar’s mug on it washed ashore in Gulf shores Alabama and some in Mississippi...
ReplyDeleteMarch 23 80 lbs of coke wrapped in individual kilos washed up and was found by beach goers on vacation...

They ambush, and 8 of their troops die. Stupid.
ReplyDeleteSo im
ReplyDeleteCurious as to how many soldiers died in these ambush because they never say
These kids are always getting killed idk why anyone will join these guys specially
ReplyDelete@9:46 'Cus people from the Gulf area are the craziest pistoleros.
DeleteThey threaten alot of people/kids to work for them, alot of central americans also
Delete4:05 ther's a difference between crazy and stupid! This are kids! Stupid kids who dont know better! Most likely grew up with out a father and took as a father figure the cartel members which also grew up with out a father figure! Its a repetitive violent cicle that maybe only a group of racianal guys might brake, but i dont see that happening for a while
Deletetwo... ambushes.... and those being ambushed report... 0 losses? &.. 5+ kills?...

3. the army S.O.P had been given the green light on these fools. ambush will no longer be a one way street.
4. sicario camp trained these guys purposefully wong in the hart hov hambush....hasa joke. el oh el.
yeah...
@10:32 Indeed gent, "morale" is highly important at war and the army doesn't allow the real statistics to show, it could demotivate the soldiers a lot when the reality is that many of them die almost daily.
Delete10:32 aay GÜEY!
DeleteNo mames pinchi estilo pendejo.
The army in Nuevo Laredo never admit any deaths never I don’t ever recall them admitting even one death how anyone believes anything they say I don’t know
ReplyDeletemaybe because Nuevo Laredo is ran by a bunch of low-life 15yr olds that have no business with guns and should be in school and not risking their lives to satisfy el pendejo del Huevo.
DeleteThey should train them as good as they do in CJNG, they can take on military grade helicopters, but I doubt that the Government had no losses
DeleteKillt 8, need to kill 8000
ReplyDeleteCDG making a killing on smuggling people in the RGV. U know U.S. politicians are getting a mordida
ReplyDeleteCDN always getting their ass kicked. How do they still survive
ReplyDelete$$$
DeleteAll the extortion they do on people crossing through laredo legally in vehicles and illegally with human smuggling, heard their drugs are straight garbage.
DeletePlus they force kids to be sicarios
They allow other Mexican DTOs to cross their product through Nuevo Laredo .
Delete7:23 igual que las pandillas en USA
DeleteYeah, unsuccessful ambush Lol
