About 200 soldiers and police engaged in a five-hour battle with gunmen in northern Mexico on Wednesday, killing two suspected hitmen amid rising violence in Mexico's war on drug traffickers.
After receiving a tip, police and troops circled a heavily armed group of gunmen in 12 SUVs near the sleepy town of Imuris, in Sonora state near Arizona, local officials said.
At least one policeman was wounded in the shootout. Most of the gunmen escaped.
"They are still looking for them with helicopters," Imuris Mayor Carlos Gallego told Reuters.
About 20 to 30 men were in the group and at least one was arrested, Mexican media said.
