A highway gun attack on security forces in northern Mexico left 10 people dead on Monday, authorities said.

"Civil Force personnel were attacked with bullets by subjects who were traveling aboard three armored trucks," Nuevo Leon Public Security Secretary Gerardo Palacios wrote on Facebook.

Ten criminal suspects were killed and four officers injured, he added.

The attack took place along a highway between Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas states, a region hit by violence connected to organized crime.
