MEXICO CITY – Mexico's federal Security Cabinet confirmed on Monday that at least ten suspected criminals and one sailor died following two consecutive armed confrontations on Sunday in the Sinaloan municipalities of Mazatlán and El Rosario, in the northwest of the country. In a statement, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) reported that the first attack occurred in the community of San Marcos, Mazatlán, while naval personnel were conducting surveys and monitoring rivers and dams as part of preventive measures to identify potential sudden increases in water levels and to alert the population in a timely manner during the rainy season. During these climate prevention efforts, the sailors were attacked with improvised explosive devices by alleged members of a criminal group, resulting in three members of the navy being injured and one dying while receiving emergency medical attention due to the severity of the injuries sustained. According to the official report presented at the presidential conference, two of the injured are now out of danger, while the third remains in serious condition but is receiving appropriate medical care. In immediate response, personnel from the Secretary of the Navy (Semar), in coordination with the SSPC, reinforced security in the region and, after repelling a second attack in the municipality of El Rosario, killed ten of the alleged attackers on site. In this second tactical deployment, federal forces arrested three men linked to the criminal organization, seizing a cache of firearms, ammunition, and tactical equipment, which were handed over to the competent authorities for the investigation.
