Two security personnel working for Petróleos Mexicanos were injured in an armed attack at the General Lázaro Cárdenas del Río refinery in Minatitlán, Veracruz.[^3]

An unknown subject approached the refinery's north entrance guard post on the night of 10 October and fired multiple times at surveillance staff.[^5] Pemex confirmed the injured workers are part of the facility's security personnel.[^2]

Pemex stated that fuel supply in the Mexico City metropolitan area remains fully normal, despite adverse weather conditions and public reports of empty stations.[^1]
