On October 17, 2019, a high-stakes operation unfolded in Culiacán, Mexico, when elite special forces moved to apprehend Ovidio Guzmán, a key figure within the powerful CDS organization. The operation, intended as a swift and decisive action, quickly escalated into an intense urban conflict as heavily armed groups mobilized in response.
According to the report, the streets of Culiacán transformed into a battleground as coordinated groups launched a rapid counteroffensive, setting up blockades, seizing major roads, and engaging security forces in prolonged confrontations. Civilians were caught in the chaos as the situation spiraled beyond initial expectations, forcing authorities to make critical decisions under immense pressure.
The report said that as the confrontation intensified, government forces found themselves outmatched in both firepower and strategic positioning. The hostilities reached a breaking point when heavily armed groups took control of key locations, applying overwhelming pressure on authorities. To prevent further escalation and ensure public safety, the decision was made to withdraw and release Ovidio Guzmán.
The report added that the battle highlighted the challenges faced in confronting well-organized groups with deep influence and resources. The events of that day sent shockwaves through Mexico and beyond, raising urgent questions about strategy, policy, and the balance of power in ongoing efforts to combat organized crime.
That was a good decision of the Special Forces to withdraw, They were outnumbered by the drug cartels, only 35 of them versus 700. The bad elements made advanced preparations. But they will be traced back once more and the Special Forces come out the winner.
