Pakistan Navy seizes 1,500 kg of Narcotics in Arabian Sea

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Navy Ship YAMAMA, operating under the Regional Maritime Security Patrol (RMSP) in the Arabian Sea, carried out a successful counter-narcotics mission, intercepting 1,500 kilograms of hashish worth nearly 3 million USD.

This decisive action highlights the Navy’s firm resolve to curb illegal trafficking and maintain strong security across vital sea routes.

The Pakistan Navy remains vigilant through regular RMSP deployments, ensuring the protection of national maritime interests with constant surveillance and active presence at sea.

It also continues to work closely with regional and international partners, reinforcing its role in fostering a safer and more secure maritime environment.

In recent years, the Navy has intensified its anti-narcotics operations, consistently thwarting attempts to smuggle drugs through Pakistan’s maritime domain, reflecting its commitment to a drug-free region.

Over the years, the Pakistan Navy has strengthened its anti-narcotics operations by increasing patrols, enhancing surveillance systems, and coordinating with international partners.

These efforts have resulted in multiple successful interdictions at sea, preventing massive quantities of drugs from reaching global markets and reaffirming Pakistan’s role in supporting regional and worldwide counter-narcotics initiatives.

Unfortunately, sea route has been used as an effective passage for carrying drugs and other prohibited sumggled items.

The money made by the smuggling is often spent on militancy and serious crimes.

The Pakistani Navy not only ensures the saftey of the marine border  from the hostility of India but it also strenghten secuyrity in waters to ensure that no intesne crimes are not carried out by the international gangs.
