The Sinaloa War is an ongoing internal armed conflict within the Sinaloa Cartel, centered in northwestern Mexico. The conflict began on 9 September 2024, following the transfer of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada to United States authorities by members of the Chapitos faction. The event triggered a formal schism within the cartel and escalated into a multi-front war between the MZ/MF faction and Los Chapitos, later drawing in external cartels and regional groups.
