TL;DR Summary

The Mexican Navy intercepted a 'narco sub' carrying 8,000 pounds of cocaine off the Pacific coast near Acapulco. The semi-submersible vessel, designed to evade detection, was manned by nine crew members, including six foreigners. This seizure is part of ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking, with the Mexican Navy having seized over 15,000 kilograms of drugs at sea under the current administration. Semi-submersibles are commonly used by traffickers to transport cocaine from South America to the U.S. and other regions.
