Mexico navy seizes submarine with four tons of cocaine

MEXICO CITY, ‌Feb ​19 (Reuters) - The ​Mexican navy intercepted a submarine ‌carrying up to four tons ⁠of cocaine along the ‌Pacific Ocean off ‌the country's West coast, Mexico's Seurity Minister Omar ​Garcia Harfuch said on Thursday.

"In the ⁠last week, maritime operations have made ​it possible to seize nearly 10 tons ​of this drug. ‌This represents a direct and multimillion-dollar ⁠blow to the financial structures of organized ⁠crime, preventing millions of doses ​from reaching the streets and protecting the safety of Mexican ‌families," Garcia Harfuch said in a ‌post on X, ⁠and added ‌that three ​individuals had been arrested.
