Mexico’s Army gave the deadly Sinaloa Cartel one of its biggest defeats in recent months after 19 suspected cartel members were killed in an overnight ambush. The Mexican military personnel were attacked on October 21 by more than 30 people a few miles outside Sinaloa’s state capital Culiacan.

In the ensuing ambush, many suspected cartel members also managed to flee. But the Mexican authorities managed to nab one local Cartel leader identified as Edwin Antonio.

The latest win for the Mexican army comes at the heels of newly-elected President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s new security strategy which continues to face public scrutiny.
