Mexican armed forces have killed powerful drug lord Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes in an operation that has set off a wave of violence in some parts of the country.

The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was wounded on Sunday in a clash with soldiers in Tapalpa, a town in the western state of Jalisco. He died while being flown to Mexico City, the army said.
