The pre-dawn operation on Thursday set off gunfights and roadblocks across the western state's capital.
"This is a significant blow to the Sinaloa cartel and major victory for the rule of law. It will not, however, impede the flow of drugs into the US. Hopefully, Mexico will extradite him to the US," Mike Vigil, the DEA's former chief of international operations, said on Thursday. López Obrador's security approach reversed years of what came to be known as the kingpin strategy of taking down cartel leaders, which led to the fragmentation of large cartels and bloody battles for dominance.
Sandoval said Guzmán was a leader of a Sinaloa faction he called "los menores" or "the juniors", who are also known as "los Chapitos", for the sons of El Chapo. US Homeland Security Investigations had posted a $US5 million reward for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Guzmán early last year.
Later, Mexico's Civil Aviation Agency said in a statement that an air force plane in Culiacan had also been hit with gunfire.
