Violence in Mexico following killing of cartel leader

Officials report at least 62 people have died in a wave of violence across Mexico, although authorities say there were no fatalities in Tijuana or elsewhere in Baja California. The unrest is tied to the military operation that killed Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Rubén “El Mencho,” which earlier prompted reprisals in multiple regions. Commentators are discussing how the operation and its violent aftermath affect security along the U.S.–Mexico border and broader bilateral cooperation.
