An important drug smuggling operation was successfully stopped by the Pakistan Navy (PN) on Tuesday in the northern Arabian Sea, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement.
A significant amount of drugs were found on board the naval vessel PNS Aslat during a regular sweep that was conducted as part of the regional maritime security patrol. On the global market, the seized pharmaceuticals are thought to be valued in the hundreds of dollars.
This triumphant endeavor highlights the navy’s proficient marine monitoring and its dedication to countering drug trafficking. These patrols are regularly carried out by naval warships to stop drug trafficking, piracy, and human trafficking at sea.
In order to carry out regional maritime security patrols in the Indian Ocean, the navy sent the PNS Aslat on Saturday.
This deployment aims to protect commercial ships as they approach and leave Pakistani ports. Furthermore, ISPR stated that PNS Aslat’s presence aims to improve the security of international trade lanes.
The warship will conduct solo operations and cooperate with allies during its mission.
With cutting-edge weapons and sensors, the warship is ready to take on a variety of threats and successfully complete a range of maritime duties.
