An ambush of the State Police left a balance of six police officers and two armed men dead, in the Municipality of El Mezquital, Durango.
In addition, seven policemen were injured, and airlifted to hospitals, and were reported stable.
The state prosecutor's office reported that the two dead civilians have not yet been identified.
In the vicinity of the town of San Antonio de Padua, the policemen were intercepted by armed men on a curve in the road and had time to warn colleagues from the area, who arrived and managed to repel the attack.
The attack also left a balance of three official vehicles with firearm impacts, detailed the State Attorney Ruth Medina Alemán in a press conference.
