The incident occurred on Saturday, near the Bridge of the Americas ("Puente Libre"). According to Mexican media reports, at least seven armed soldiers were traveling in off-road trucks when they accidentally crossed into US territory.
The Mexican foreign ministry representative confirmed that the soldiers went the wrong way and told journalists that all of them were released after being detained by the US customs and border protection for several hours.
According to Mexican media reports, the soldiers were handcuffed, and their weapons were confiscated during the detention.
