Mexico is on high alert following the recent killing of notorious drug cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as 'El Mencho', in a military operation. The government has deployed 10,000 soldiers nationwide to quell the ensuing violence and unrest.
El Mencho was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in Mexico. His death has sparked a wave of retaliatory attacks and clashes between rival cartels and security forces, leading to the closure of schools and a significant military presence on the streets.
