Law enforcement agencies across various Mexican states have conducted multiple operations resulting in significant drug seizures and arrests.

In Tijuana, Baja California, the Fuerza Estatal de Seguridad Ciudadana (FESC) detained two individuals and seized over 10 kilograms of a substance resembling heroin, along with two tactical vests. In Campeche, a coordinated effort involving the Navy (SEMAR), Army (SEDENA), and National Guard led to the arrest of three people following searches in Carmen, where various doses of narcotics and marijuana were recovered.

Other regional activities include the seizure of 89 bags of marijuana and a vehicle in Cancún, Quintana Roo, and the execution of seven search warrants in Chihuahua, which resulted in five arrests and the recovery of 225 doses of narcotics.
