Mexican security forces kill 12, arrest 9 in raid on alleged gang site

Mexican security forces conducted a Navy-led operation on Saturday in Huitzontla, Michoacan, detaining nine suspects and killing twelve alleged criminals.
The operation targeted a criminal group linked to maritime drug trafficking and violent crimes including homicide, extortion, and kidnapping.
Authorities discovered arms and combat equipment on-site and faced intense hostility, leading to injuries among three naval officers.
Security Minister Omar Harfuch stated the detained suspects are linked to serious offenses and confirmed the use of force was "in compliance with current regulations" due to "strong aggression."
This action demonstrates continued efforts to combat one of Mexico’s leading drug trafficking organizations, recently designated as a terrorist group by the United States, underscoring persistent security issues in the region.
