Multiple aircraft damaged by gunfire in Culiacan, Mexico

[michel N]

Today, after the arrest of an important drug lord, a major clash broke out near the Mexican airport of Culiacan.
Confirmed damaged are 3526, a Boeing 737 of the Mexican Air Force, and an unknown Embraer of AeroMexico Connect.
Videos showed helicopters being shot at, and firing back. So probably more damages will become known later on.
