CJNG leader 'El Jadinero' arrested

Senior CJNG figure Audias Flores Silva, known as “El Jardinero,” was arrested in Nayarit by federal forces. In retaliation, armed groups launched attacks in at least six municipalities across the region, resulting in shootings, road blockades, and property damage. Local authorities reported multiple incidents of gunfire and confrontations with police, prompting heightened security deployments. The violence underscores the cartel’s capacity to mobilize quickly after high‑profile arrests. Officials are investigating the coordinated nature of the attacks and urging residents to avoid affected areas.
