Mexican Navy's Dramatic Seizure of Narco-Sub with Tonnes of Cocaine

The Mexican Navy intercepted a narco-submarine off the coast of Baja California, seizing 3.5 metric tons of cocaine, the largest haul in the last five years. The vessel, measuring 26 meters long with two internal engines, had a high load capacity and could remain at sea autonomously for up to 20 days. Advanced training was required for the operation, as officers boarded the moving vessel in challenging weather conditions. Five crew members of different nationalities were arrested, bringing the total number of cocaine seizures at sea to 21.3 metric tons and 121 arrests this year.
