Wanajeshi wa usalama wa Meksiko wiki hii walikamata karibu tani 17 za methamphetamine kutoka maabara tatu za siri katika jimbo la Sinaloa, huku wakibomoa kituo cha uzalishaji chenye eneo la mita za mraba 5,700 katika mchakato huo, mamlaka zilitangaza. Maafisa walikadiria kuwa operesheni hiyo ilisababisha hasara ya kiuchumi ya dola milioni 347 kwa makundi ya uhalifu.
Waziri wa Usalama Omar García Harfuch aliita ukamataji huo "mojawapo ya mapigo makubwa zaidi dhidi ya uzalishaji wa dawa za kulevya za kutengenezwa" nchini Meksiko tangu Rais Claudia Sheinbaum aingie madarakani mnamo Oktoba 2024. Sinaloa, makao ya genge lenye jina hilo hilo, kwa muda mrefu limekuwa kitovu cha uzalishaji wa methamphetamine inayolengwa zaidi soko la Marekani, na operesheni hii ni miongoni mwa ukamataji mkubwa zaidi wa aina hiyo katika miaka ya hivi karibuni.
