Overview
- Pemex confirmed that two employees were injured in a nighttime shooting at the north gate of the Lázaro Cárdenas refinery in Minatitlán and said it is working with authorities and will share verified updates.
- Local reports described attackers arriving on a motorcycle and firing at security personnel before fleeing, though details about the assailants remain unverified.
- Federal and state security units, including the National Guard, the navy, the army and state police, moved to the scene and the Veracruz prosecutor’s office sent a ministerial team to carry out investigations.
- No arrests have been reported and officials have not released the injured workers’ identities or their precise medical condition.
- The Minatitlán refinery is one of Mexico’s oldest and a key processor of Maya crude into fuels, so attacks on its access points raise concerns about staff safety and potential disruptions to local fuel processing.
