Mexico sends thousands of soldiers to stop violence after death of drug lord


Mexico has deployed nearly 9,500 troops nationwide after a wave of violence erupted following the death of drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. He died from injuries sustained during a firefight with security forces in Jalisco shortly after being captured. In response, cartel members launched coordinated attacks across at least 20 states, blocking roads, burning vehicles and damaging businesses. President Claudia Sheinbaum praised the military operation and said authorities are working to restore order as security forces continue operations to contain the unrest.
