The Mexican Army and Air Force seized a Cessna 206 Stationair with the tail number XB-OSL as well as roughly 338 kilograms of various drugs and arrested two people involved. The aircraft was detected by radar originating in Culiacan on a valid flight path. The aircraft changed directions with no obvious reason which is what prompted the Mexican military to respond. The aircraft landed on a dirt road in the Municipality of Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.
