Mexico City, Mexico – The Mexican military successfully carried out a decisive security operation on Sunday, resulting in the death of one of the world’s most wanted drug traffickers. This followed a meticulous pursuit that lasted several days. According to security sources, the suspect was involved in smuggling large quantities of cocaine and fentanyl to the United States and Europe.
The Mexican Ministry of Defense explained that the operation is part of a national strategy to combat organized crime. It is being carried out in coordination with US authorities and aims to dismantle cross-border smuggling networks. The operation was conducted in a remote area south of Mexico City following careful surveillance and intelligence gathering.
This move comes amid escalating activity by criminal gangs in Mexico, which threaten local and regional security. The government emphasizes its commitment to continuing security operations to pursue all wanted individuals. These operations aim to strengthen the capabilities of the army and police to combat organized drug trafficking, while prioritizing the protection of civilians and minimizing casualties.
