At least 29 people were killed during the bloody operation to arrest of the son of Mexican drugs kingpin "El Chapo".
Ovidio Guzmán-López, 32, alleged to be a leader of his father's former cartel, was captured in Culiacán and flown to Mexico City on Thursday. During and after the arrest, 10 soldiers and 19 suspects were killed, said Mexican authority, reports BBC.
A further 35 military personnel were injured and 21 gunmen were arrested, Defence Minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval said on Friday.
Furious gang members set up road blocks, set fire to dozens of vehicles and attacked planes at a local airport.
Guzmán-López - nicknamed "The Mouse" - was extracted by helicopter and flown to the capital before being taken to a maximum security federal prison.
He is accused of leading a faction of his father's notorious Sinaloa cartel - one of the largest drug-trafficking organisations in the world.
His father, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, is serving a life sentence in the US after being found guilty in 2019 of drug trafficking and money laundering. His trial revealed some of the brutal details of how Mexico's drug cartels operate.
