In a troubling incident, six migrants lost their lives after Mexican soldiers opened fire on their truck, which had attempted to evade a military patrol.
The defense ministry emphasized its adherence to the rule of law while simultaneously dealing with international media scrutiny regarding the safety of migrants.
"People in migration are exposed to great risks during their journey, and it is indispensable they have legal means of access and integration to avoid tragedies like these," stated the UN Refugee Agency.
The Mexican military explained that they opened fire due to hearing explosions, mistaking the situation for potential threats linked to criminal groups.
