Authorities have reported that in previous days, an operation was carried out in the south of Nuevo León, specifically in the municipality of Galeana; therefore, this series of attacks could be a response by criminal groups to these actions.

The armed group responsible for this afternoon’s attacks in Nuevo León is believed to be the Cartel del Noreste, although this information has not yet been confirmed by the authorities.
There is also a video circulating of a female driver, accompanied by a minor and another woman, in which they find a section of the National Highway closed and ask a motorcyclist for information about what is happening; to which the man responds that there is a shooting and they must take cover.

Due to the lack of control in the area and the lack of information from the authorities, recommendations have been made among citizens to avoid approaching the area until there is a report that the situation has been brought under control.
