Mexico is supported by the United States in this conflict through the Mérida Initiative.
The 2023 Battle of Culiacán began on January 5, 2023, following the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán, son of jailed drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, sparking a wave of violence in the state of Sinaloa.[2] In retaliation for the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán, cartel members blocked highways with burning vehicles and began attacks against the armed forces.[3] The Culiacán International Airport was closed after gunfire was opened on two planes (one passenger and the other military). On January 13, the Mexican Secretary of the Interior Adán Augusto López Hernández declared that "order has been reestablished" in Sinaloa.[4]
According to official reports, ten soldiers, a police officer and 19 alleged members of the Sinaloa Cartel were killed.[2] The violence prompted the Mexican military to launch a series of armed raids using planes and helicopters to attack cartel members.[5]
