Mexican federal authorities said they discovered a 265-meter underground tunnel in the border city of Tijuana that likely connects to a street in San Diego, California, in what officials described as a blow to cross-border drug trafficking operations.
Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) said the tunnel was found during a raid carried out by agents from the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) at a property in the Nueva Tijuana neighborhood. The operation was tied to an investigation into alleged violations of firearms and health laws.
