In a joint anti-narcotics operation, PMSS Zhob seized a large quantity of narcotics in the Arabian Sea, ISPR stated. The seized drugs are worth thousands of dollars in the international market.
This is the third major successful operation of the Pakistan Navy against drug smuggling during the last 10 days.
Pakistan Navy and PMSA are maintaining a constant presence to closely monitor the sea lanes. The successful joint anti-narcotics operation is the result of effective surveillance at sea by the Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Maritime Security Agency.
