3 security force members have died in clashes in the state of Sinaloa after the arrest of a son of notorious Mexican drug kingpin "El Chapo".
Ovidio Guzmán-López, nicknamed "The Mouse" is the leader of his dad's former cartel - was captured in Culiacán.
Furious gang members set up road blocks, set fire to vehicles & attacked a local airport.
2 planes were hit by gunfire - one while preparing to take off.
More than 100 flights were cancelled at 3 Sinaloa airports.
US President Joe Biden is due to visit Mexico for a North American leaders' summit next week. He will now arrive on Sunday.
The US state department says Guzman & his brother Joaquín are currently overseeing approximately 11 methamphetamine labs in the state of Sinaloa, producing an estimated 3,000-5,000lb of the drug per month.
They have also said that information indicates Mr Guzmán-López ordered the murders of informants, a drug trafficker & a popular Mexican singer who refused to sing at his wedding.
In December, the US announced a reward of up to $5m for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Mr Guzmán-López & 3 of his brothers.
