The violence in Sinaloa continues unabated. On Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, car fires and roadblocks were reported in at least five municipalities in the state, local authorities reported.
“The Ministry of Public Security reports that, as a result of the events that occurred on May 7, 2025, federal, state, and municipal authorities, working together to remove seven roadblocks reported in the municipalities of Culiacán, Navolato, Rosario, Elota, and Mocorito.
“We reiterate to the people of Sinaloa that we will continue working to address incidents that affect the safety of our citizens,” the Sinaloa Ministry of Security reported on the social media platform X.
In response, some users of the same social media platform criticized the authorities, stating that they are not doing their part to ensure the safety of the population.
As a result of the unrest, schools at all levels announced the suspension of classes, as of yesterday, in at least 10 municipalities across the state.
