Mexican armed forces announced the dismantling of a clandestine meth "mega-laboratory" in northern Sonora state, marking the largest drug lab bust under the current administration. The navy stated that it was the largest lab secured during this administration, representing over 50% of the drugs and precursors seized in the current year. Photos showed large containers and sacks at the rural camp near Rancho Viejo. The navy seized 4.13 metric tons of meth and 1.27 tons of precursor chemicals. The site had 72 laboratory reactors, five times more than the previously considered largest lab. The U.S. has urged Mexico to combat drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, while Mexico calls for the U.S. to address the trafficking of firearms to drug cartels across the border.
