El Salvador and Mexico seized over 10 tons of cocaine from maritime vessels this week, while U.S. strikes killed 11 suspected drug traffickers in Latin American waters.
- Regional navies of El Salvador and Mexico reported seizures of more than 10 tonnes of cocaine this week, while U.S. strikes left at least 10 people dead on three suspected smuggling boats.
- On Thursday, Mexico reported seizing nearly four tonnes from a semisubmersible craft 250 nautical miles south of Manzanillo, using intelligence shared with U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Joint Interagency Task Force South.
- On Sunday, El Salvador's navy announced its largest-ever seizure of 6.6 tonnes from a 180-foot Tanzania-registered ship 380 miles southwest of the coast, finding 330 packages and arresting ten men.
- U.S. strikes targeting what the government calls 'narcoterrorists' this week left three boats destroyed, with images released but no drug-evidence; at least 145 people have been killed since last September.
