Last week the Pakistan Navy has earned international praise after a major anti-narcotics operation in the Arabian Sea led to the seizure of illegal drugs with an estimated value of nearly one billion US dollars.
The successful mission was carried out by the naval ship PNS Yarmouk, which is part of a multinational maritime force, Combined Task Force 150, led by Saudi Arabia. In a swift 48-hour operation, the crew intercepted two suspicious vessels.
From these boats, the navy confiscated a huge haul of narcotics, including two tonnes of crystal meth, 350 kilograms of the drug ‘ice’, and 50 kilograms of cocaine.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) officially commended the Pakistan Navy for its professionalism and the success of the operation. The Commander of the Royal Saudi Navy, Fahad Al-Juweid, also praised the bust, describing it as an excellent example of effective global cooperation in securing maritime routes.
