At least 25 killed in two separate shootings in Honduras

At least 25 people have been killed, including six police officers, in two separate attacks on the coast of Honduras, police said.

The first attack took place at a ranch in the Trujillo municipality in northern Honduras, where at least 19 people were shot and killed, according to Yuri Mora, a spokesperson for the country's Public Prosecutor's Office.

In the second attack, gunmen opened fire on police in the Omoa municipality, in the Cortes department, near the Guatemalan border.

Six officers were killed, including a senior officer, police said. They were part of an anti-gang mission and were attacked while travelling to Omoa from the capital, Tegucigalpa.

National Police spokesman Edgardo Barahona had earlier said that at least 10 workers had been killed in Trujillo, but that the overall number remained unclear, partly because relatives of the victims have removed the bodies of their loved ones.

The National Police and armed forces will respond to both places, and teams including forensic specialists and prosecutors will be formed to investigate, the security ministry said.
