Violence perpetrated by drug cartel members has reached a wide scale across several regions of Mexico. Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the Mexican media, reports that the armed clashes have taken on a particularly violent character.
The state of Jalisco is identified as the primary epicenter of the incidents. However, the wave of violence is not limited to this area and has spread to other states. The death toll continues to rise steadily as a result of the power struggle between rival cartel members for territorial influence.
According to official reports, although security measures have been strengthened in the affected regions, it has not yet been possible to prevent the unrest caused by criminal groups. Mexico has long struggled with systemic violence stemming from powerful drug trafficking organizations that compete for control over smuggling routes and local markets. These cartels often employ high-grade military weaponry, leading to significant casualties among both combatants and civilians, while posing a continuous challenge to federal and state law enforcement agencies.
