In Mexico, widespread unrest has resulted in the death of 25 National Guard soldiers, as reported by BBC. In response to the rising violence, the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has updated its travel advisory for Mexico, urging citizens to remain vigilant and protective of their safety. Incidents of attacks on business premises and vehicles in tourist areas such as Tulum and Playa del Carmen have raised concerns among residents and travelers alike. The Ministry has also emphasized the importance of following official communication channels and refraining from sharing unverified information.

The unrest in Mexico reportedly escalated following the death of the nation’s most wanted drug lord, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho. He was killed in a military operation conducted by Mexican forces in Tapalpa, Jalisco. El Mencho led the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of Mexico's most feared drug trafficking organizations, contributing to the current state of violence and turmoil in the country. As a result, the Mexican government has been facing significant challenges in maintaining public safety and order.

According to Yle, around 300 Finns have submitted travel notifications to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding their presence in Mexico. The continuing unrest and violence, with reported incidents in at least 20 areas, highlight the need for travelers to stay aware of their surroundings and adhere to safety advice from authorities, as the situation remains fluid and potentially dangerous for both locals and tourists. Observing official advisories and staying informed will be crucial for maintaining safety during this precarious time.
