Mexico intercepts record cocaine shipment at Michoacán port

The 3-ton seizure is the largest at the Pacific port in years and highlights the scale of cocaine flowing through Mexico.

Mexican authorities seized approximately 3 tons of cocaine hidden in shipping containers at a port in Michoacán.

Officials say the drugs were destined for the United States and were concealed among industrial equipment.

The seizure is one of the largest recorded at the port and reflects intensified enforcement at Pacific maritime hubs.

Analysts caution that major seizures often represent a small fraction of the total cocaine moving through the region.
