Mexico's Defense Secretariat said it has located 11 gun smuggling routes from the U.S., from where most weapons seized in the country come.

In a report, the entity said it was able to spot the routes as a result of cooperation with the General Prosecutor's Office, and that most of them are used by criminal organizations. Overall, authorities were able to seize almost 6,000 guns between November 2024 and May this year.
