当地当局表示，周三，在墨西哥城世界杯揭幕战前夕，5名墨西哥警察在受暴力冲击的米却肯州遭枪击身亡，另有5人受伤。
该州政府通报称，这些警察在这个西部州的一个原住民地区遭到不明身份袭击者的袭击，该地区长期受贩毒集团暴力活动困扰。
据法新社获取的画面显示，他们乘坐的皮卡车布满弹孔。
莫列拉警察局在社交媒体帖子中确认，遇难警察为波尔菲里奥·罗德里格斯·布里塞尼奥、布兰登·霍苏埃·萨莫拉·托雷斯、弗朗西斯科·哈维尔·奥特罗·达马斯、乔纳坦·蒙德拉贡·塞尔万和马特奥·巴尔德斯·阿瓦尔卡。
该市前警察局长何塞·巴勃罗·阿拉孔·奥莱姆多向遇难者的家属和朋友表示哀悼。
他在社交媒体上写道：“必须逮捕此次袭击的元凶，并依法对其严惩不贷。”
此次袭击发生在纳瓦曾市，这里是普雷佩查人的聚居区，强大的哈利斯科州新一代贩毒集团（CJNG）在此活动。
今年5月，一名小城市市长据称遭哈利斯科州新一代贩毒集团杀害，引发了针对州政府相关象征物的愤怒抗议，许多居民指责州政府未能遏制不断升级的暴力活动。
米却肯州首府莫雷利亚距离墨西哥城和世界杯共同举办城市瓜达拉哈拉均约300公里。
该州安全部门表示，警方正在搜寻周三袭击事件的作案者。
墨西哥政府坚称，到访的世界杯球迷不存在安全威胁。
墨西哥与加拿大和美国共同举办本届世界杯。美国大使馆本周表示，由于墨西哥的安全风险“因地区差异极大”，美国国务院已为每个墨西哥州制定了单独的旅行警告。
今年4月下旬，墨西哥军方在该国西北部抓获了哈利斯科州新一代贩毒集团的一名高层头目，该贩毒集团头目于两个月前被击毙。奥迪亚斯·弗洛雷斯·席尔瓦，又名“园丁”，被视为遇害头目接班人的人选，美国曾悬赏500万美元征集有助于逮捕他的线索。
弗洛雷斯·席尔瓦被视为内梅西奥·奥塞格拉·塞万提斯——又名“孟乔”——的接班人，后者于今年2月在一场戏剧性的军事行动中被击毙。“孟乔”被击毙后，贩毒集团暴力活动激增，贩毒枪手袭击企业、焚烧车辆、设置路障，造成70多人死亡，其中包括25名国民警卫队队员。
5 police officers shot dead in cartel-plagued part of Mexico as World Cup kicks off

Five Mexican police officers were shot dead and five others wounded Wednesday in violence-hit Michoacan state on the eve of the World Cup opener in Mexico City, local authorities said.
The officers were attacked by unknown assailants in an Indigenous region of the western state, which is plagued by cartel violence, the state government reported.
The pickup truck they were traveling in was riddled with bullet holes, according to images obtained by AFP.
In a social media post, the Moriela Police Department identified the slain officers as Porfirio Rodriguez Briseno, Brandon Josue Zamora Torres, Francisco Javier Otero Damas, Jonatan Mondragon Servin and Mateo Valdez Abarca.
Jose Pablo Alarcon Olemdo, the city’s former police chief, extended his condolences the victims’ families and friends.
“The criminals responsible for this attack must be arrested and punished with the full weight of the law,” he wrote on social media.
The attack took place in the municipality of Nahuatzen, a region inhabited by the Purepecha people where the powerful New Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) operates.
In May, the brazen murder of a small-city mayor, allegedly by the CJNG, prompted angry protests targeting symbols of the state, which many residents accused of failing to combat spiraling violence.
Michoacan’s capital Morelia is situated around 300 kilometers from both Mexico City and fellow World Cup host city Guadalajara.
The state’s security department said police were searching for the perpetrators of Wednesday’s attack.
Mexico’s government insists that there is no security threat to visiting World Cup fans.
Mexico is co-hosting the tournament with Canada and the United States. The U.S. Embassy said this week that because safety risks in Mexico can “vary greatly by region,” each Mexican state has been given its own travel advisory by the U.S. State Department.
In late April, the Mexican military captured one of the CJNG’s top leaders in the northwest of the country, two months after the cartel’s leader was killed. Audias Flores Silva, also known as “El Jardinero,” or The Gardener, was seen as a possible successor to the killed leader and the United States had a $5 million reward out for information leading to his arrest.
Flores Silva was seen as a possible successor to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, or “El Mencho, who was killed in a dramatic military operation in February. The killing of “El Mencho” led to a surge of cartel violence with a wave of attacks on businesses by cartel gunmen, vehicle burnings and road blockades that killed more than 70 people, including 25 National Guard members.
