MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Six migrants died after Mexican soldiers fired on a group of 33 migrants traveling in a pick-up truck that had tried to evade a military patrol, the defense ministry said on Wednesday, underlining tensions on Mexico's southern border as it faces U.S. pressure to contain migration.
Another 10 migrants were injured in the incident on Tuesday evening, the ministry said in a statement. The group included people of Egyptian, Nepalese, Cuban, Indian and Pakistani nationality, though the statement did not specify the nationalities of the deceased.
