Mexico dismantles Durango meth lab, seizes 1.3 tons of drugs

Mexican security forces dismantled a clandestine synthetic drug laboratory in Durango, seizing 1.3 tons of methamphetamine and thousands of liters of chemical precursors. The operation continues an established pattern of anti-narcotics enforcement in northern Mexico, with no indication of disruption to major trafficking networks. The seizure underscores persistent cartel production capacity in the region.
