Mexico has sent hundreds of additional troops to Culiacán following the capture of Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and violent episodes that followed.

Concretely, 600 army members were deployed to the state, joining 400 others who were sent to the state less than a month ago. State governor Ruben Rocha Mora said that at least 10 murders committed during the past days are related to the capture of Zambada, which took place on July 25.
