Following the violent incidents in Puerto Vallarta after the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', the Mexican Navy has deployed 103 Marines along with vehicles to enhance security in the area.
In the wake of escalating violence in Puerto Vallarta, the Mexican Navy has sent the ARM Usumacinta ship, along with 103 Marines, to bolster security after the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as 'El Mencho', head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). This decision was prompted by a surge in criminal activity, with over 250 incidents reported, including roadblocks, vehicle thefts, arson attacks, and a prison breakout involving 23 inmates from the local prison.
The deployment signifies a significant response to the ongoing instability in the region, which has been a hotspot for cartel-related violence. Authorities are on high alert, especially in coastal areas frequented by tourists. The Navy's operation involves not only ground troops but also aerial and maritime surveillance, ensuring a comprehensive security strategy aimed at restoring order and safety in Puerto Vallarta.
This military presence is crucial for deterring further criminal activities while reassuring residents and visitors alike. As the aftermath of 'El Mencho's' demise continues to unfold, the focus remains on stabilizing the region and preventing further escalations, highlighting the Mexican government's ongoing struggle against organized crime and cartel influence in various parts of the country.
