Ocean Strike: 10 Tons of Cocaine Seized, US Pressure Drives Major Anti-Drug Ops

• El Salvador and Mexico navies seized over 10 tons of cocaine in the Pacific Ocean.
• Mexico announced the seizure of approximately four tons of narcotics and detained three individuals near Manzanillo port.
• El Salvador's navy made its largest cocaine seizure in history, 6.6 tons, from a Tanzanian-registered vessel, arresting 10 individuals.
• Operations were based on intelligence from 'US Northern Command' and 'US Joint Interagency Task Force South'.
• US pressure on Mexico to increase drug seizures has led to a more aggressive stance against drug gangs, despite disagreements on US military attacks.
