Puerto Vallarta Urged to Shelter Amid Cartel Clashes

Puerto Vallarta remains on high alert as the U.S. Embassy urges tourists to stay indoors following violent cartel clashes sparked by the military's killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader El Mencho in Tapalpa. Road blockades, burning buses, and fires at landmarks like Costco and gas stations disrupt the coastal paradise, with smoke plumes rising over the city and panic at the airport. Clashes spread to Michoacan, Colima, and beyond, prompting a Code Red in Jalisco.
