Sinaloa security operations lead to multiple arrests and major weapon seizures

Mexican security forces have conducted extensive operations across several states, most notably in Sinaloa, to combat organized crime. In Mazatlán, seven coordinated actions resulted in the detention of eight individuals linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. Authorities seized 19 firearms, over 2,000 cartridges, 14 homemade explosive devices, 415 fentanyl pills, and various tactical vehicles. Among those detained in El Quelite was Erik Samuel Barraza Sánchez, alias «Fantasma», identified as an operator for the Los Mayos faction. Additionally, José Luis Ibarra Gutiérrez, alias «El Prieto», was arrested in flagrante with a long weapon and fentanyl.

In Culiacán, a violent shooting occurred at the Tai Pak restaurant in the Tres Ríos commercial area. An armed group opened fire on diners, resulting in the death of a man identified as Rubén «N» and wounding seven others, including regional Mexican singer Víctor Valverde.

Other regional security activities included the arrest of a man in Mexico City wanted by the FBI and DEA for drug trafficking, and the seizure of narcotics and weapons in Nuevo León, Sonora, and Baja California. In Veracruz, the State Prosecutor's Office reported 124 judicial actions, including 73 flagrant detentions, in a single week.
