KARACHI: Pakistan Navy in an intelligence-based joint operation with Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) seized 700kg of narcotics near the coast of Pishukan, Balochistan, according to a spokesperson.

The drugs, valued at approximately Rs2.2 billion, were to be smuggled to unknown destination through the Arabian Sea, added the official.

The seized drugs were handed over to the ANF.

“The successful execution of joint Anti Narcotics Operation demonstrates Pakistan Navy’s resolve to counter any unlawful activity along our coast and in our maritime zones,” says a PN statement.
