PM Shehbaz lauds Pakistan Navy for successful drug operation in Arabian Sea

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif paid tribute to Pakistan Navy for successful drug operation in North Arabian Sea. 

The prime minister, in a statement, said that the PNS MOAWIN seized drug shipment worth $1 million.

He said this is a very important milestone in the anti-narcotics drive.

Shehbaz further said that Pakistan Navy has a central role in preventing drug trafficking, adding the nation is proud of Pakistan Navy.

Earlier, Pakistan Navy Ship 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 $1 million in the international market.

The cache was being transported via sea to international destinations. 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.
