This demonstrates declining government monopoly on violence and increased cartel assertiveness in contested territories.
Similar to post-2006 Mexican Drug War escalation when cartel fragmentation led to increased attacks on security forces; comparable to 2011-2012 Michoacán violence surge when Knights Templar Cartel challenged state control.
