The attacks took place late Friday and early Saturday in Ciudad Victoria, in which six minors were also killed. Authorities say the battle for Ciudad Victoria began in late 2015 and has claimed at least 100 lives. While officials didn’t specify who was behind the violence, factions of the splintered Zetas Cartel are fighting for control of the city. The violent Zetas Cartel has splintered into factions following the capture or killing of many of its leaders. Also, reports from the police ministry to which The Associated Press had access said that more attacks took place around the city overnight, including one on a bus station that left a 16-year-old dead.
