The X post you linked (from @agusantonetti

 on February 22, 2026) reports an urgent ongoing military operation against narcoterrorism in the El Grullo area of Jalisco state, Mexico. It explicitly states this is happening right after the elimination of El Mencho (Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes), the longtime leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).The post includes two short videos showing helicopters flying over mountainous/forested terrain, kicking up dust clouds — likely depicting Mexican military or special forces activity in the region.Key Context from Recent EventsOn Sunday, February 22, 2026, Mexican armed forces conducted a major operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco (a different but nearby area in the same state), targeting El Mencho.

According to Mexico's Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) and multiple international reports (BBC, Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, etc.), El Mencho was wounded during clashes with soldiers.

He died shortly afterward while being transported (airlifted) to Mexico City for medical treatment.

The raid also resulted in several CJNG members killed (reports vary from 4 at the scene to more during/after), weapons seized, and some soldiers injured.


El Mencho (real name Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes) was widely considered one of the world's most powerful and elusive drug lords, heading the CJNG — Mexico's dominant cartel in recent years, heavily involved in fentanyl trafficking to the US, extortion, and extreme violence. His death is being described as a massive blow to organized crime.AftermathThe killing triggered immediate retaliatory violence across parts of Mexico (especially Jalisco and surrounding states):Cartel gunmen blocked highways.

Vehicles and businesses were set on fire.

Chaos erupted in areas like Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta (including tourist zones), with reports of burned cars, road blockades, and panic.

Authorities and the US issued shelter-in-place advisories for citizens in western Mexico.

Some tourist areas saw flight cancellations and evacuations.
