15 Bodies Discovered in Hidden Graves in Chiapas, Mexico

Authorities uncover graves linked to escalating cartel violence near the Guatemala border, seizing weapons and arresting suspects.

Fifteen bodies were found in 11 clandestine graves during a raid in La Concordia, Chiapas, a region affected by cartel turf wars.
The operation led to the arrest of four individuals and the confiscation of weapons, vehicles, and drugs, according to Chiapas Governor Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar.
The Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels are engaged in violent disputes over drug, migrant, and weapons trafficking routes in the area.
Over 10,000 people have been displaced in recent years due to cartel violence, with many fleeing to neighboring Guatemala for safety.
Chiapas has seen a rise in violence and instability, exacerbated by an influx of migrants and ongoing cartel conflicts, as the federal government continues its policy of non-confrontation with drug cartels.
