Pakistan Coast Guards have intercepted a ship attempting to smuggle a large quantity of narcotics from Gwadar. Acting on intelligence gathered through covert means in Gwadar, authorities seized a substantial amount of high-quality narcotics, effectively thwarting the smuggling attempt. Following credible information about drug trafficking through the coastal areas of Gwadar, a specialized search team was deployed. During the operation, the team successfully disrupted an attempt to smuggle narcotics via a boat along the shoreline. In a bid to evade capture, the smugglers took advantage of the cover of darkness, abandoning both the ship and the narcotics before fleeing the scene. However, the operation resulted in the seizure of 164 kilograms of high-quality narcotics, prompting immediate legal action against the perpetrators. The swift and decisive action by Pakistan Coast Guards underscores their commitment to combating drug trafficking and ensuring the security of the region.
