The attacks created blockages along the main roads in the Mexican states of Michoacán, Jalisco and Guanajuato. Violence extended to 29 municipalities.
The clashes begged Thursday afternoon in the state of Michoacán, where the armed men of the Viagras and the Jalisco New Generation cartel began to establish obstacles and attack the military forces. In a matter of hours, the blockages extended in parts of Jalisco and Guanajuato.
The initial information pointed to the Mexican federal forces that they went to a superior leader or the Viagras. The blockages were a strategy to press the rescue of that individual and press the Government of Mexico to withdraw.
Since then, Mexican federal officials affirmed that violence was linked to a grass war between rival organizations and not to no poster figures.
Since then, the senior security official of Mexico, Omar García Harfuch, said that only six armed men and two policemen died.
Earlier this year, CJNG and several smaller organizations, including their old rivals Los Viagras, united forces under the name of Michoacán New Generation. In Michoacán, Viagras and other cells linked to the Michoacan family, as well as personal defense groups, joined forces against CJNG. However, groups have been constantly changing sides.
