"Narco Sub" Captured: Four Tons of Cocaine Seized in Pacific Raid

Mexican authorities have intercepted a so-called "narco sub" in the Pacific Ocean, seizing approximately four tons of cocaine. The operation occurred roughly 250 nautical miles south of the port city of Manzanillo. Officials detained three people aboard the vessel. A "narco sub" is a custom-made, semi-submersible craft used by traffickers to move large drug shipments discreetly. These low-profile vessels are difficult to detect. The seizure, equivalent to about 4,000 kilograms, represents a major blow to international drug smuggling networks. Video of the captured craft was released by the Mexican government. No further details about the suspects or the intended destination of the drugs were immediately provided.
