Mexican drug gang CJNG killed 14 police officers who were ambushed in Michoacan state on the morning of October 14, leaving a signed banner.

Mexico's Ministry of Public Security said three pickup trucks carrying police officers were ambushed on a mission near El Aguaje, north of Aguililla, Michoacan state. The men in plainclothes riding in several trucks fired at them yesterday morning.

A number of videos that spread on social networks show police despair as they fell into a gang ambush. "We were attacked, we attacked! Someone was injured here!", An officer shouted, surrounded by painful cry of his comrades hit by bullets and gunfire rang out.

Photos of the scene published on social media showed police cars were burnt down and gunmen left a banner signed by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), warning police not to support the police. their rival criminal group.

The attack in one of the states has long been instable because of a battle between drug gangs, especially CJNG and rival rival Los Viagras.

This is one of the bloodiest attacks on the security forces since President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office. State Governor Michoacan Silvano Aureoles had an emergency meeting this morning.

For many years, Michoacan state was considered as the "area" of CJNG, a gang that carried out a series of attacks on the nearby Jalisco state police in 2015 to strengthen control of drug trafficking in the region. .

The Mexican National Public Security Office on July 21 released statistics showing that there were 14,603 murders in the first six months of the year, up from 13,985 in the same period last year. The number of murders in Mexico this year is expected to exceed 29,111 in 2018, an unprecedented record.

The Mexican government has for years sought to crack down on brutal drug gangs by destroying or prosecuting leaders. However, the disappearance of power tycoons caused many gangs to disintegrate, leading to the situation of internal fighting and fierce competition for the territory.
