In a major counter-narcotics operation, the Pakistan Navy has seized a massive cache of drugs worth nearly US$972 million in the Arabian Sea. The intercepted haul included crystal methamphetamine and cocaine, reportedly being smuggled through international maritime routes.
According to official sources, the operation was carried out with support from international intelligence partners. The recovered drugs were handed over to the relevant authorities for legal proceedings.
The Pakistan Navy reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining maritime security and curbing illegal trafficking across its waters. Officials said such operations not only protect Pakistan’s coastal borders but also strengthen global efforts against transnational crime.
This is one of the largest narcotics seizures in Pakistan’s maritime history. Maritime experts noted that the operation underscores the country’s strategic role in ensuring safe international trade routes through the Arabian Sea.
