Mexico deploys troops after mayor's killing in Pacific coast state

Mexican authorities responded to the murder of a small-city mayor with increased troop deployments. President Claudia Sheinbaum has directed operations against drug cartels in Pacific coast states.

The government sent thousands of troops to the region following the killing. Officials said the move aims to restore order in areas affected by cartel activity.

Despite the additional forces, authorities have not restored full control in several Pacific coast states. The situation remains active with continued security operations reported in the area.
