Drug cartel stronghold targeted by Mexican military forces, according to officials.

According to authorities in Mexico, there have been reports of attacks on military personnel and roads being blocked with vehicles in the northern state of Sinaloa. The local police department stated that the violence erupted in an area just north of the state's capital, Culiacan. This particular state is notorious for being home to the drug cartel with the same name, and unfortunately, this type of violence is not uncommon whenever a leader of the cartel is arrested.

There has been a lot of speculation about a possible arrest, but federal authorities have stated that they have no immediate information on any such event. Local media outlets have shared images of burning vehicles obstructing roads, but none of this has been officially confirmed by authorities. The Sinaloa state police department took to their social media accounts to inform the public that they were aware of the attack on military personnel and the roadblocks caused by vehicles.

State Governor Rubén Rocha also weighed in on the situation, stating that the attackers had set fire to two vehicles in an attempt to hinder the authorities. He urged the public to remain calm, but did not provide any information about the motives behind the attack or if anyone had been harmed. Videos and photos of the burning vehicles have been circulating on local media channels, and it is believed that this is a common tactic used by cartels to prevent law enforcement from reaching certain areas.

Despite the chaos, the Secretary of Public Education in Sinaloa has announced that classes will continue as planned today. There were concerns that the violence would escalate in Sinaloa after the recent arrests of top drug lords. In late July, Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, allegedly kidnapped Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a rival drug boss from a different faction of the cartel, and forced him onto a plane heading north.

It is believed that Guzmán was planning to surrender himself, and for some reason, he took Zambada with him. The details surrounding this incident are still unclear. Despite the tension and uncertainty in the state of Sinaloa, authorities have assured the public that they are doing everything in their power to maintain peace and order.
