Security Secretary García Harfuch Arrives in Culiacán with 1,400 Troops

Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch personally travels to Culiacán and brings 1,400 additional Army soldiers with him in a high-profile show of force. Two days after his arrival, fighting erupts in the Tierra Blanca neighborhood as La Mayiza destroys a Chapitos truck with a .50-caliber anti-materiel rifle, killing at least 3 people. The incident underscores that even massive military presence cannot suppress the conflict.
