Good afternoon to you and to all our listeners. Yes, as you said, Navy personnel arrested these seven people in the State of Mexico, in the municipality of Ecatepec, who were in possession of firearms. 

Federal government officials indicated that the detainees are allegedly linked to a cell of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which operates in that area. 

According to the institution, Navy personnel were conducting surveillance patrols as part of Operation Baluarte when they located the individuals who were in possession of four firearms. 

The detainees, as well as the seized evidence, have already been handed over to the competent authorities to be included in the corresponding investigation file. 

It should be noted that the Navy has been conducting these operations in the State of Mexico for months at the request of state authorities to reduce crime rates in that region. We will be standing by for updates, then, Rubén.
