A Mexican marine wounded during the operation to capture Rafael "N," known as "El R2," was in stable condition according to preliminary information, Mexico's NMás reports. Authorities had not specified the nature or location of his injuries.

Reporting near the restaurant where the arrests took place, correspondent David Acosta describes federal and state security forces preparing to move 19 other detainees to the federal Attorney General's Office. He stresses that their roles had not been established. Detention alone did not explain why each person was being held.

The report places the operation in Zapopan, part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area in the western state of Jalisco. Armed Navy, Army and state police personnel remain at the scene, with road closures around Avenida México as vehicles reposition for the transfers.

Rafael "N" was also wounded and had been taken to a private hospital, Acosta reports. An on-screen profile identifies him as the leader of "Los Rz," described as a cell of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and says he is allegedly linked to the killing of Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan in neighboring Michoacán. Those are allegations presented by the broadcaster, not findings established in this report.

Asked whether residents or anyone else had been hurt, Acosta says no additional injuries had been confirmed beyond the marine and Rafael "N." Medical personnel had assessed the people detained inside the restaurant. He closes by describing calm around the surrounding commercial area, while security forces continue preparing the transfers.
