Mexican authorities seized a tractor-trailer carrying more than 13 tons and 13,400 liters of chemical precursors used to produce synthetic drugs, in what officials described as a major blow to drug cartel's trafficking networks.
Mexico's Security Minister Omar García Harfuch said on his X account that the multi-agency operation took place in the northern state of Durango and led to one arrest. Authorities said the seizure resulted from surveillance actions that intercepted the truck at a checkpoint along the Durango–Hidalgo del Parral highway. The vehicle had been modified to transport precursor chemicals and drug materials.
