The Mexican army on Sunday killed the leader of a major drug cartel during a security operation near Puerto Vallarta in western Mexico. Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The operation marked what authorities described as one of the most significant blows against organized crime in years. Violence and unrest spread across multiple Mexican states in the immediate aftermath. Authorities deployed the army and the National Guard to restore order. International responses were swift, with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) updating its travel advisory for Mexico, urging Canadians in affected regions to exercise a high degree of caution and monitor local guidance. Canadian airlines adjusted schedules, with some flights delayed or cancelled amid security concerns. Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand spoke Monday morning, addressing the security situation in Mexico.
