Mexico Seizes Narco-Submarine with 4 Tons of Cocaine

In a significant operation by Mexican authorities, a semi-submersible vessel carrying around four tons of cocaine was intercepted by the Mexican Navy near Manzanillo. This action is part of a broader campaign against drug trafficking on Pacific maritime routes. Three individuals were arrested, and US intelligence cooperated in the operation. In the past week, about 10 tons of cocaine have been seized, signifying a major financial blow to organized crime. Mexico is enhancing its efforts with increased surveillance and cooperation with the US. These efforts seek to disrupt pathways from Ecuador and Colombia used by traffickers. This comes amid a US push for stronger actions against drug cartels.
