Mexico travel disrupted after killing of CJNG leader sparks nationwide violence: Video
Passengers were left stranded at bus terminals across Mexico on Sunday after several transport companies suspended routes to western states following a surge of violence triggered by the killing of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”.
Departures to Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán and Aguascalientes were halted as authorities reported road blockades and torched vehicles in at least ten states after a federal operation in Jalisco left Oseguera Cervantes dead, along with seven suspected cartel members, while three soldiers were wounded. Bus operators said services would resume only once security conditions allowed, as travellers waited for updates amid uncertainty over highway safety.
