Mexico deployed 9,500 soldiers after the killing of alleged cartel leader 'El Mencho', amid fears of violent retaliation. Authorities reported that roadblocks set up by cartel gunmen were dismantled and no new unrest had been recorded as of Tuesday.

President Claudia Sheinbaum said the government’s priority is ensuring peace and security across the country. She stated that normal life is continuing and that officials are focused on maintaining stability following the operation.
