Ten individuals were killed or found dead in various actions in and around Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, according to Mexican news accounts.
- Five unidentified men were found shot to death and dismembered near Los Ramones, Nuevo Leon. The find was made on the Monterrey-Reynosa highway. All the victims were stripped naked. Three separate "narcomessages" were found at the scene although their content was not released.
- Armed suspects attacked a Nuevo Leon state prison in Apodaca early Monday morning using grenades and small arms fire. The Centro de Readaptacion Social (CERESO) on the Salinas Victoria road was attacked when armed suspects presumably aboard a vehicle went to the front gate and threw a hand grenade, then fired a rifle about six times. No one was hurt in the detonation of the grenade or in the fusillade.
- A Mexican security force combining a Mexican Army unit and state police agents conducted a security sweep in the Cerro de la Campana area in southern Monterrey Monday. The operation made use of two state helicopters. Authorities did not release information about the operation or its results, but news reports did note that this is the first security sweep since the appointment three days ago of Nuevo Leon's new chief of Secretaria de Seguridad Publica Estatal (SSPE), General Jaime Castañeda Bravo.
- A gunfight between a detachment of the Mexican Army and armed suspects in Cerralvo, Nuevo Leon ended Monday with five dead and three arrested. The firefight took place in the town center. Two vehicles and four rifles were seized following the battle.
