What is happening in Mexico? 11 killed in anti-Sinaloa cartel operation. Details here

At least 11 suspected criminals were killed in northern Mexico, the country's navy said on Thursday, during a ‌security ⁠operation ⁠targeting a residence tied to the Los Mayos faction of the country's powerful Sinaloa cartel. Last month, another Mexican military operation killed Nemesio Oseguera, alias El Mencho, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, during an operation in Jalisco state.

The ​navy said its personnel were attacked after arriving at the site ​in Sinaloa state, ⁠after which "in ‌accordance with the legal ​framework, ​they repelled the assault." Officials ⁠did not identify anyone killed in ​the operation.

The navy also located ​the daughter of a crime boss during the operation, but she was released to her family after determining she had ‌no ties to criminal activities. It also said it seized ​high-powered ​and tactical ⁠weapons at the scene.
