Pakistan Navy Ship (PNS) MOAWIN seized a large cache of narcotics during a counter-narcotics operation in North Arabian Sea.

The seized narcotics are estimated to be worth approximately USD 01-million in international market.

The cache was being transported via sea to international destinations, says a statement released by the Directorate General Public Relations (Pakistan Navy) Naval Headquarters, Islamabad on Wednesday.

During the operation, PNS MOAWIN, supported by Pakistan Navy air assets, successfully intercepted a Dhow, conducted boarding operations, and apprehended the narcotics, which were stowed in a hidden compartment of the vessel.

The successful execution of this anti-narcotics operation demonstrates Pakistan Navy’s vigilance, professionalism, and resolve to deter and disrupt all illegal activities, ensuring good order at sea.
