Details of the operation in Culiacán, Mexico

At a press conference, the Secretary of National Defense of Mexico, Luis Cresencio, said that the violence unleashed on Thursday in Culiacán was the result of the “desire of the Municipal Police to obtain positive results” to achieve the apprehension of Ovidio Guzmán López, one of the children of Mexican drug trafficker Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. Cresencio explained that during the clashes, nine agents were held by the criminal group and subsequently released when the government decided to suspend their operations. The secretary confirmed the death of a person.
