Mexico Seeks Answers After U.S. Officials Die in Chihuahua Operation Crash

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she will demand explanations after four officials—two Mexican investigators and two U.S. Embassy instructors—died while returning from a raid to destroy clandestine drug laboratories in Chihuahua. She was not informed of any U.S.-state collaboration and said federal authorization is required for such cooperation. The U.S. Embassy confirmed the officials were assisting Chihuahua authorities, and prosecutors said the convoy skidded and fell into a ravine during a night drive. There was no indication of a joint operation at the national level, and officials pledged more details as investigations continue.
