Seventeen Bodies Found in Chiapas Graves

Authorities in Chiapas, Mexico, have uncovered 17 bodies in clandestine graves linked to ongoing cartel violence. The bodies, all male, were discovered in La Concordia and Palenque, with many showing signs of mutilation and torture, indicating a brutal conflict between the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels. Chiapas Governor Eduardo Ramírez has vowed to intensify security operations in the region amidst the escalating violence that has displaced over 10,000 residents. In a separate investigation in Chihuahua, 12 bodies were found in a suspected 'narco graveyard', further highlighting the pervasive issue of cartel-related killings in the country. Both operations involved advanced search techniques, with authorities continuing to seek additional clandestine sites. The grim discoveries reflect the ongoing humanitarian crisis and law enforcement challenges posed by drug cartel activities in Mexico.
