Following the death of Jalisco New Generation cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho,' significant violence erupted in Mexico, resulting in the deaths of 25 National Guard troops and over two dozen suspected criminals. These fatalities occurred during six separate attacks in Jalisco as the military attempted to capture Oseguera Cervantes, leading to a violent retaliation from the cartel. The violence reflects the ongoing struggles the Mexican government faces in combating drug trafficking organizations and their influence in the country.

The operation that led to Oseguera Cervantes's death was backed by U.S. intelligence, highlighting the collaboration between Mexico and the United States in addressing cartel violence. In addition to the military casualties, other individuals, including a prison guard and state prosecutor's agent, were also reported dead in the aftermath of these attacks, indicating the widespread ramifications of the cartel's activities on public safety and security forces.

The events illustrate the dangers posed by drug cartels in Mexico and the ongoing security crisis that has plagued the region. This incident could provoke further violent responses from the Jalisco cartel, potentially leading to an escalation in violence and complicating efforts by Mexican authorities to stabilize the situation. The involvement of U.S. intelligence further emphasizes the international stakes in combating drug-related violence in Mexico.
