25 Killed in Two Separate Attacks in Honduras, Including Workers and Police Officers

On Thursday, two separate attacks in Honduras resulted in the deaths of at least 25 individuals, including 19 workers and 6 police officers. The first incident occurred in a plantation in the city of Trujillo, in northern Honduras, where unknown gunmen opened fire. Yuri Mora, spokesperson for the Public Prosecutor’s Office, reported that 19 workers were killed in this attack. The area has long been a center of land disputes and agricultural conflicts.

The second attack took place in the city of Omoa, near the Guatemalan border, where gunmen targeted a police unit, killing six officers including a senior official. According to police, these officers were engaged in an anti-gang mission and were traveling from the capital Tegucigalpa to Omoa at the time of the assault.

The government has dispatched forensic teams to investigate both incidents and announced heightened security measures in the affected areas.
