周日,墨西哥西部部分地区爆发暴力冲突,军方行动导致哈利斯科新一代贩毒集团头目死亡,引发该地区广泛的安全担忧。
墨西哥国防部在X平台的声明中表示,安全部队在墨西哥哈利斯科州的一次行动中击毙了内梅西奥·鲁文·奥塞古拉·塞万提斯(Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes),其绰号为”El Mencho”。声明称,他在塔瓦帕镇的突袭行动中受伤,在被空运至墨西哥城途中死亡。
美国副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰多(Christopher Landau)也证实了贩毒集团头目死亡的消息,称其为”最血腥、最无情的毒枭之一”。
“这对墨西哥、美国、拉丁美洲乃至全世界都是重大进展。正义一方比邪恶势力更强大。”他在X平台上表示。
此次行动前,哈利斯科州及其他州已出现数小时的车辆燃烧路障。此类战术常被贩毒集团用来阻碍军事行动。

哈利斯科州州长巴勃罗·莱穆斯·纳瓦罗(Pablo Lemus Navarro)因冲突升级启动了”红色警报”——这是应对紧急状态或安全危机的协议。他在X平台上表示,哈利斯科州公共交通暂停,敦促当地民众待在家中直至局势得到控制。
社交媒体流传的视频显示,哈利斯科州主要城市巴亚尔塔港上空浓烟滚滚,机场内人群恐慌奔跑。
据地面消息来源和该市家庭成员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者尼迪亚·卡瓦索斯(Nidia Cavazos)透露,塔毛利帕斯州边境城市雷诺萨的机场也出现类似情况。他们称,通往机场的道路已被贩毒集团成员封锁。雷诺萨与美国德克萨斯州麦卡伦市接壤,通常挤满往返的美国人。尽管国际桥梁仍开放,但通往桥梁的关键街道已被封锁。
美国国务院发布安全警报,建议在包括哈利斯科州、塔毛利帕斯州、米却肯州、格雷罗州和新莱昂州在内的几个墨西哥州的美国公民就地避难,直至另行通知。
加拿大航空公司临时暂停了巴亚尔塔港机场的运营,称”巴亚尔塔港持续的安全局势”影响了机场运营。
“我们正在监控局势,并与当地当局保持联系,他们正在努力解决问题。”该航空公司表示。

西南航空公司和阿拉斯加航空公司证实周日取消了往返巴亚尔塔港的航班,而达美航空公司则为往返巴亚尔塔港和瓜达拉哈拉机场的旅客发布了旅行豁免通知。
“我们的客户和机组人员的安全始终是首要考虑,我们正在密切关注该地区局势。我们已采取相应措施调整运营,并正在与受影响客户沟通。”达美航空在声明中表示。
美国国务院曾提供高达1500万美元的悬赏,以获取导致”El Mencho”被捕的信息。

今年2月,特朗普政府将该贩毒集团列为外国恐怖组织,称其除贩运芬太尼外,还”从事敲诈勒索、移民走私、石油和矿产盗窃以及武器交易”。

Violence erupts in Mexico after cartel leader “El Mencho” killed in military operation
Updated on: February 22, 2026 / 3:09 PM EST / CBS/AP
Violent clashes erupted in parts of western Mexico on Sunday amid a military operation that led to the death of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader, triggering widespread security concerns throughout the region.
Mexican security forces killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” during an operation in the western state of Jalisco, Mexico’s Ministry of Defense said in a statement on X. It said he was wounded during the raid in the town of Tapalpa and died while being flown to Mexico City.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, who also confirmed the cartel leader’s death, described him as “one of the bloodiest and most ruthless drug kingpins.”
“This is a great development for Mexico, the US, Latin America, and the world. The good guys are stronger than the bad guys,” he said on X.
The operation followed several hours of roadblocks with burning vehicles in Jalisco and other states. Such tactics are commonly used by the cartels to block military operations.

Jalisco Gov. Pablo Lemus Navarro activated a “code red,” which is a protocol for a state of emergency or security crisis, in response to the clashes. In a post on X, he said public transportation was suspended across Jalisco and urged people in the area to remain in their homes until the situation was under control.
Videos circulating on social media showed plumes of smoke billowing over the city of Puerto Vallarta, a major city in Jalisco, and sprinting through the airport of the state’s capital in panic.
A similar situation unfolded at the airport in Reynosa, a Mexican border city in the state of Tamaulipas, sources on the ground and family members in the city told CBS News’ Nidia Cavazos. They said roads to and from the airport had been blocked off by cartel members. Reynosa borders McAllen, Texas, and is typically packed with Americans traveling back and forth. While international bridges remained open, key streets to get to the bridges were blocked off.
The U.S. State Department has released a security alert advising American citizens in several Mexican states, including Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon, to shelter in place until further notice.
Air Canada temporarily suspended operations at the Puerto Vallarta Airport because of what it described as “an ongoing security situation in Puerto Vallarta” that impacted the airport.
“We are monitoring the situation and in contact with local authorities who are working to resolve the issue,” the airline said.

Southwest and Alaska Airlines confirmed they canceled flights to and from Puerto Vallarta on Sunday, while Delta Air Lines issued travel waivers to customers with flights into or out of the airport in Puerto Vallarta as well as Guadalajara.
“The safety of our customers and crew always comes first and we are closely monitoring the situation in the region. We have taken steps to adjust our operation accordingly and are working to communicate with our impacted customers,” Delta said in a statement.
The U.S. State Department had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest of El Mencho.

In February, the Trump administration designated the cartel as a foreign terrorist organization, saying that in addition to trafficking fentanyl, the group “engages in extortion, migrant smuggling, oil and mineral theft, as well as weapons trade.”
