Mexican resort town, airport under siege after army kills major Jalisco New Generation cartel leader

Mexican security forces killed the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel in a Jalisco operation reportedly supported by U.S. intelligence; the leader had an estimated $15 million bounty. In the immediate aftermath, Puerto Vallarta and its airport were reportedly attacked and tourists were warned to stay indoors; officials say at least 73 people died during the operation and subsequent incidents. The deadly bus bombing in southwestern Colombia underscores how narco-related violence is manifesting across the region with brazen attacks that often target civilians and public spaces, raising concerns about contagion and broader public-safety impacts.
