Ovidio Guzmán, son of notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, has been arrested in Mexico.
The arrest took place in connection with a dramatic dawn raid in the northwestern city of Culiacán.
The incident has led to unrest in the city, reports say CNN. Footage circulating on social media reportedly shows trucks being set on fire. The airport has been closed for most of the day because of gunfire nearby.
The city’s mayor has urged residents to stay at home.
Culiacán has long been a base for the Sinaloa Cartel, where Ovidio Guzmán is said to have been a high-ranking member.
Sinaloa is one of the world’s most powerful drug cartels, and father “El Chapo” was its feared leader before he was sentenced to life in prison in 2020.
Here you can read more about the tours around “El Chapo” and his family.

When you write that a wolf has been shot in Västmanland, why not mention that it is only western Västmanland where the hunt is ongoing?

Hello,
Why doesn’t FHM come out with simpler recommendations, such as keep your distance, wear a mask in crowded environments, now that there are so many different viruses. Should be obvious, but not something you see “in town”?
Dennis Thorberg
They have some recommendations, here can you see the ones that relate to covid.
Apart from vaccination, they are quite general and should work well to reduce the spread of other infections as well.
