Security Operation

Authorities across the Bay Islands announced a coordinated security and prevention operation for an expected 200,000 visitors during the coming high-season week, with checkpoints and personnel deployed across Roatán, Santos Guardiola, Guanaja, and Utila.

A national security and emergency operation will run October 2–12 as Honduras's Morazán Week holiday draws an estimated 500,000 travelers; multiple agencies will staff checkpoints on highways, beaches, and tourist sites.

A security operation in the mountainous Marale area of Francisco Morazán killed two suspected members of the Cártel del Diablo, but three others escaped into nearby highlands; authorities are continuing the manhunt as part of broader nationwide operations that also netted 15 arrests.
