Violence in Sinaloa After Cartel Arrests, Kidnapping

Mexican authorities reported attacks on military personnel and blocked roads in northern Sinaloa state, particularly near Culiacan. The violence, marked by burning vehicles set to block authorities, follows a pattern seen when cartel leaders are arrested. State Governor Rubén Rocha called for calm, but did not clarify the motives or report any victims. This unrest comes amid fears of wider violence after recent detentions of top Sinaloa cartel leaders, including the alleged kidnapping of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of 'El Chapo'. Despite the chaos, the Secretary of Public Education in Sinaloa announced that classes would proceed as planned.
