Mexican authorities have confirmed that there are attacks on military personnel and roads being blocked with vehicles in northern Sinaloa state. The state police department says the violence occurred Thursday just north of the state capital, Culiacan.
MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities said Thursday there have been attacks on military personnel and roads blocked with vehicles in northern Sinaloa state.
“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.” 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.
