Mexican Army arrests 11 Chapitos operatives linked to Concordia miner kidnappings

Mexican Army and Sinaloa special forces arrested 11 members of the Chapitos faction in Escuinapa, Sinaloa, tied to regional leader 'El Casco,' who is linked to the kidnapping and murder of 10 miners in Concordia. The arrests are part of ongoing operations against cartel leadership, but the full extent of the network and the fate of the miners remain unclear. This signals continued state pressure on the Chapitos, a key faction in the Sinaloa cartel conflict.
