The violence in Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Texas, prompted the temporary closure of the national highway that connects Tamaulipas state to central Mexico.
The first confrontation occurred around 13:30 pm when a convoy of the Secretariat of National Defense was attacked as they drove to kilometer 13 of the Nuevo Laredo-Monterrey Federal Road . A statement from authorities said:
"At that point, the soldiers were attacked by armed civilians who were traveling in several vehicles. By repelling aggression in defense of their lives, (the soldiers) shot dead eight of the offenders.
