The ongoing cartel turf war between the Mayiza and the Chapitos continues tormenting Sinaloa with deadly attacks happening sporadically across the state, particularly in the city of Culiacan and its surrounding areas. From war tanks, to drone bombs, cartel members are using technology to get a leg up in the conflict, and most recently, a confrontation uncovered their latest tool: anti-drone shields.
