ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan Navy ship has seized a large cache of narcotics during a counter-narcotics operation in the North Arabian Sea. The seized narcotics are estimated to be worth approximately one million US dollars on the international market. The cache was being transported by sea to international destinations. During the operation, the PNS, supported by Pakistan Navy air assets, successfully intercepted a dhow, conducted boarding operations, and apprehended the narcotics, which were hidden in a concealed compartment of the vessel. The successful execution of this anti-narcotics operation demonstrates the Pakistan Navy’s vigilance, professionalism, and commitment to deterring and disrupting illegal activities, ensuring order at sea.
