Karachi: In a significant operation near the Pakistan-Iran border, the Pakistan Coast Guards (PCG) intercepted a boat carrying a large quantity of arms and narcotics. The operation took place close to the Old Marine Post, underscoring ongoing security challenges in the region.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Coast Guards discovered four bags and two LPG cylinders hidden aboard the vessel, which contained 34 kilograms of methamphetamine (commonly known as ice), 42 kilograms of heroin, and ammunition for 5.56 mm caliber weapons.
