Mexican authorities have found 17 bodies in the last 72 hours during an operation targeting clandestine graves linked to drug cartels in Chiapas. The operation began over the weekend and is ongoing as of Monday afternoon, per the state's Attorney General's Office.
The initial discovery of 15 bodies was announced Saturday. The bodies were found in the municipality of La Concordia, an area in central Chiapas contested between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) due to its key trafficking routes.
