Mexican Navy Foils Four-Ton Narco-Sub Bound for the U.S.

The Mexican Navy intercepted a semi-submersible vessel near Manzanillo, Colima, carrying nearly four tons of cocaine and arrested three suspects. The seizure comes amid a week that has seen about 10 tons of cocaine seized overall, with the operation supported by U.S. forces and involving multiple ships and aircraft. The network uses routes La Gorgona and El Desierto from Ecuador and Colombia toward the U.S., with Galápagos and Clipperton as waypoints before reaching Mexican shores and, ultimately, the U.S. market, reflecting a broader crackdown on maritime drug trafficking.
