Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed public concerns Monday regarding recent U.S. military activities near Mexico, following an advisory issued by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday. The FAA urged U.S. aircraft operators to "exercise caution" when flying over the eastern Pacific Ocean near Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America, citing ongoing "military activities."

President Sheinbaum stated that her administration waited for official written assurances from the U.S. government confirming that no U.S. military flights would enter Mexican airspace. According to Sheinbaum, the U.S. government did not provide advance notification to Mexico regarding these military operations.

The U.S. government subsequently provided precise coordinates of the operational areas, leading Mexican authorities to issue a statement clarifying that the FAA advisory did not pose any implications for Mexico. The situation unfolded amidst heightened regional tensions following the recent attack on Venezuela, contributing to the sensitivity surrounding U.S. military movements.

The lack of prior notification from the U.S. government raised questions within Mexico regarding communication protocols and transparency in military operations near its borders. While the specific nature of the U.S. military activities remains undisclosed, the FAA advisory and subsequent clarifications from both governments suggest ongoing exercises or deployments in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

The Mexican government's prompt response and communication with the U.S. aimed to prevent public alarm and ensure the safety of Mexican airspace. Further developments will likely involve continued dialogue between the two nations to establish clearer communication channels and protocols for future military activities in the region.
