Mexico’s most wanted drug lord, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, better known as “El Mencho”, was killed in a military operation that unleashed coordinated violence across several states, paralysed transport networks and prompted security advisories from the United States and Canada.
The Mexican army said the 59-year-old leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was wounded during a clash with soldiers in Tapalpa, Jalisco, and died while being flown to Mexico City.
