Burned vehicles in Mexico's Michoacan after drug cartel leader killed

Mexico's most wanted man and the leader of the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) drug cartel Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera has been killed during a security operation to arrest him, the defence ministry has said. Oseguera's death has sparked a wave of violence in various parts of the country, including in Michoacan where Oseguera's cartel has a presence.

Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus told residents to stay home and suspended public transportation. School was cancelled on Monday in several states. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum praised the country’s security forces in a post on X and called for calm.
