Local media reports that a key leader of a major Mexican cartel organization with significant influence was killed during a series of law enforcement operations in Jalisco, western Mexico. Bloomberg announced the overview of this operation on X, emphasizing that the authorities’ actions are an important effort to combat organized crime in the region.

The Mexican government is accelerating its fight against organized crime, aiming to weaken cartel activities and reduce violence.
