ALBAWABA The Russian embassy in Mexico has reported that a woman from Russia was allegedly kidnapped while traveling through Mexico's northeast region. The embassy disclosed this information on Saturday, citing local media reports.
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, was said to have embarked on a journey from Monterrey to the city of Reynosa, accompanied by Mexican acquaintances, as per the embassy's statement released on its social media platform, X.
"The Russian embassy in Mexico is in contact with local police authorities, as well as with the husband of the kidnapped Russian woman," the statement read.
Reynosa, located in Tamaulipas state, shares a border with the United States and has been known for its high levels of violence associated with organized crime activities such as drug trafficking and kidnapping.
Furthermore, Tamaulipas state serves as a critical route for undocumented migrants attempting to cross into the United States, adding to the complexities of security challenges in the region.
This incident brings to light the dangers faced by travelers in areas marked by violence and criminal activities. Last year, four US citizens were abducted at gunpoint in Tamaulipas, two of whom tragically lost their lives.
