Local prosecutors have confirmed the discovery of at least 56 bodies in unmarked mass graves near the US-Mexico border in Chihuahua state, a region plagued by cartel violence and drug trafficking.
At least 56 bodies have been found in unmarked mass graves in northern Mexico, near the U.S. border, according to a statement from local prosecutors on Saturday, as reported by CBS News.
The remains, which included full bodies, complete skeletons, partial remains, clothing, and bullet casings, were exhumed earlier this week in Chihuahua state. This area is a known route for drug and migrant trafficking to the U.S. The exhumation, supported by military personnel, lasted several days.
Prosecutors have not yet provided details on the identities of the victims.
The remains have been sent to a forensic lab to determine the cause and time of death, with efforts underway to identify the individuals.
The bodies were uncovered in an area called "El Willy," which is controlled by La Linea, a criminal organization affiliated with the Juárez cartel operating along the border, according to local media.
Mass graves are unfortunately common in Mexico, especially in areas affected by cartel violence. Over 345,000 people are currently missing in the country, as per Mexico’s national registry.
In addition, last month, Mexican authorities discovered 12 bodies in clandestine graves in Chihuahua state, and another 12 in several graves about two hours from Ciudad Juárez, which lies across from El Paso, Texas.
Since Mexico’s government launched a major offensive against drug cartels in 2006, more than 450,000 people have been killed nationwide.
One of the largest mass graves was reported in 2017, when over 250 skulls were found in what appeared to be a cartel burial ground on the outskirts of Veracruz.
