Mexican Army Storms Culiacán! 200 Troops Descend on Cartel Hotspot as Government Launches Massive Security Crackdown
A large contingent of Mexican Army troops has arrived in Culiacán, Sinaloa, to combat rising crime rates. The reinforcements join existing forces and will patrol alongside state police.
In a dramatic show of force, a total of 200 Mexican Army soldiers touched down in Culiacán this past Saturday, as part of a large-scale operation to curb the alarming rise in crime in Sinaloa's capital. The deployment forms part of an agreed reinforcement effort between the federal government and local authorities, aiming to improve intelligence and bolster prevention efforts in one of Mexico’s most notorious crime hotspots.
The latest arrival comes hot on the heels of an earlier deployment just days before, when 100 elite Special Forces soldiers arrived in Culiacán to tackle the escalating violence. With the streets of Sinaloa gripped by crime, including drug-related gang violence, extortion, and kidnappings, the Mexican government has called upon its military to restore a semblance of order to this turbulent region.
