CJNG cartel escalates violence in Mexico, blocking roads and setting fires in three states.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is escalating violence in Mexico, responding to government crackdowns by setting fires and blocking roads in Jalisco, Michoacán, and Guanajuato. The cartel, labeled a terrorist organization by the US, has increased tensions through attacks, causing traffic disruptions without reported casualties. This follows a long-standing conflict between the Mexican government and drug trafficking groups, resulting in high murder rates over the past 19 years.
