Mexican security forces have killed one of the world's most dangerous drug lords, Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Following his death, violence erupted in over six states in Mexico, creating a tense situation as gunmen torched vehicles and buildings, blocking highways. In response, security forces have launched operations and increased security in the affected states, even shutting down schools in several areas. President Claudia has appealed to citizens to maintain peace amidst the unrest.

Reports indicate that the violence began in Puerto Vallarta and its surrounding areas after El Mencho's death, prompting the military to initiate a large operation on Monday morning to regain control. Gunmen retaliated by setting fire to vehicles and buildings across states like Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, and Guanajuato, leading to major disruptions as several highways were blocked. The ongoing chaos has raised concerns about public safety, especially among local communities and authorities trying to restore order.

The situation highlights the volatility of Mexico's drug war, where the power struggle between rival cartels often results in public violence and unrest. As the country grapples with the fallout from El Mencho's death, the implications for cartel activity and the safety of civilians continue to unfold, prompting a need for urgent safety measures and an effective response from the government.
