A shooting involving rival gangs on a beach near Mexico's Caribbean resort destination of Cancun left two suspected drug dealers dead on Thursday and sparked panic among foreign tourists.
The armed clash, the second to shake Mexico's Riviera Maya in recent weeks, is another blow to a tourism industry still recovering from the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
"There was a confrontation between members of opposing groups of drug dealers on a beach in Bahia Petempich, Puerto Morelos," the Quintana Roo state attorney general's office tweeted.
"Two of them lost their lives," it said.
