US issues security alert over "possible threat" in Mexican city of Mexicali

The United States government suspended its activities and staff travel to Mexicali, located in the northern Mexican state of Baja California, while issuing a security alert to its citizens regarding a potential threat in the city. The measure, announced on a Tuesday, prompted the local state government to deploy a security operation aimed at preventing and containing any potential contingencies.

According to reports, the security alert and subsequent preventative measures were reportedly triggered by threats originating from a faction known as Los Rusos. The unfolding situation highlights ongoing security concerns for foreign diplomatic personnel and citizens operating within the border region.
