An all-out cartel war just exploded south of the border in Mexico and now officials are warning the violence could spill into the United States. A mile from the Texas Mexico border Cartel Gun battles resulted in six people killed and vehicles with texas license plates burned and shot to pieces - this is all according to state police.

But there is one other organization that might stand in the way of the cartel - aside from their own factions. The Mexican military has been deployed to stop the war. They’ve been tasked with urban combat in a city with a population of 1 million people, a difficult job for any unit. Squads of soldiers are seen pictured in luxury apartment buildings and homes in the city’s center, some of them bombed out burnt up cartel living rooms. Gun Battles between Mexican soldiers and the cartel have sent locals diving for cover in super markets and cafes. In response Cartel members set fire to vehicles and left them in the middle of the road in an effort to block military reinforcements from reaching the city. Still over 125 armored vehicles have arrived.
