      Mexican authorities said Thursday there have been attacks on military personnel and roads blocked with vehicles in northern Sinaloa state.

      The state police department said the violence broke out in an area just north of the state capital, Culiacan. The state is home to the drug cartel of the same name, and similar violence has broken out in the past whenever a cartel leader has been arrested.

      However, federal authorities said they had no immediate information on any such arrest.

      Local media showed images of burning vehicles blocking roads.

      “We are aware that military personnel suffered an attack,” the Sinaloa state police department wrote in its social media accounts. “We are also aware that roads have been blocked with vehicles.”

      State Gov. Rubén Rocha wrote that assailants had set two vehicles on fire “with the aim of blocking authorities.” He called for calm, but did not specify the motives of the attack or if there were victims.

      Roadblocks were later reported in another district where Ovidio Guzman, son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, was arrested in January 2023 before being extradited to the United States.

      Local media showed video and photos of the vehicles in flames. Cartels in Mexico often use that tactic to prevent police or military units from reaching a given area.

      In another social media post, police said that authorities had removed vehicles from a highway near the community of Limón de Los Ramos.

      Despite the chaos, the Secretary of Public Education in Sinaloa released a statement Thursday night saying classes would be held as planned on Friday.

      Maybe if the military tried to use some actual force, they might have better luck. Bomb the fuck out of these cartel assholes.

    3. This highlights the explosive volatility of cartel territories, where any threat to leadership sparks instant, ruthless retaliation. It’s proof that power struggles there aren’t just about control; they’re about survival.

      What USA should do is – personal missile attacks targeting the cartel leaders – the same way it does for ISIS. It will actually be more fruitful because – unlike the Islamic terrorists cartel leaders are not driven by ideologies which rewards after death,

      Word I’m supposed to go to Cancun in December should I cancel my trip?

    7. The cartels best be careful, if this war on civilization gets Americans killed, the Mexican government might finally give the US the a-ok for military involvement. The cartels really won’t like F-15Es and A-10s.

    8. People here think that the government work for the cartel when it’s actually the other way around
