Pakistan Navy Seizes About $96 Million in Narcotics at Sea

The Pakistan Navy seized narcotics worth about $96 million in two counter-narcotics operations in the Arabian Sea, the military's media wing said on Wednesday. Pakistan Navy Ship Yarmook carried out the operations, the Inter-Services Public Relations said.

Two dhows were stopped at extended ranges from the Pakistani coast. About 850kg of ice and 2,000kg of hashish were found in concealed compartments in the vessels.

The drugs were taken into custody and will go to the concerned authorities for disposal and legal proceedings. The wing said the operations showed the Navy's "sustained presence, vigilance, and unwavering commitment" to regional maritime security and to stopping illicit trafficking at sea.
