The offices of Mexican broadcasting giant Televisa were hit by a grenade for the second time in two months in the gang-plagued border city of Matamoros, authorities said Thursday. Assailants tossed the grenade from a vehicle Wednesday night, causing damage to the building's facade, but nobody was injured, said an official in the Tamaulipas state prosecutor's office.
The same building of the world's biggest Spanish-language television network was attacked on February 6, when unknown assailants threw a grenade that wounded two guards.
The city, which lies across the US border from Brownsville, Texas, has endured a surge of violence in recent weeks attributed to internal strife within the Gulf drug cartel.
