The killing of CJNG leader and the country's most wanted drug baron El Mencho, who has a $10 million bounty on his head, has turned Mexico into a battleground, while clashes between cartel members and the army continue. As the country is plunged into chaos, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was transferred to a ship belonging to the Mexican Navy for her safety. The moments when Sheinbaum was transported to the ship by helicopter were captured on camera second by second.
The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," who was wanted by the U.S. with a reward of 10 million dollars, was killed in a conducted operation. Following the operation, clashes intensified between CJNG members and the Mexican army, with gunfire reported in many areas.
CLASHES IN THE STREETS, CHAOS ON THE ROADS
After the neutralization of El Mencho, cartel members engaged in direct clashes with security forces in various states. In some areas, roads were blocked, vehicles were set on fire, and security measures were heightened to the maximum level. While extraordinary security measures were implemented nationwide, the public was warned to stay at home.
SHEINBAUM TRANSFERRED TO NAVAL SHIP
Due to the increasing security risk, it was reported that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was transferred to a ship belonging to the Mexican Navy as part of her protection measures. It was claimed that moments of Sheinbaum being transported to the ship by helicopter were captured on camera. While presidential sources indicated that the security measures were temporary, official authorities emphasized that the country's administration was under control.
TENSION IS RISING
Experts assess that CJNG may conduct displays of power and retaliatory attacks following the loss of its leader. While security forces continue their operations targeting critical points of the cartel, tensions remain high in the country.
