The Mexican Army has significantly increased its presence in the state of Durango to combat organized crime. Between June 10th and 13th, the Secretariat of National Defense deployed three military units – nicknamed “Bats,” “Pitbulls,” and “Armored Units” – totaling 690 personnel. This deployment is a direct response to ongoing criminal activity in the region. The units are intended to reinforce security and assist local authorities in maintaining order. Officials have not specified the exact nature of the criminal organizations targeted, but the move signals a heightened effort to address escalating violence. The increased military presence aims to disrupt cartel operations and restore stability to Durango.
