South Korean authorities have announced the seizure of two tons of cocaine valued at approximately 1 trillion won (US$679.6 million) from a Norwegian-flagged vessel that arrived at Gangneung from Mexico via Ecuador, Panama, and China.
This operation is considered the largest drug bust in terms of weight in South Korea’s history.
The discovery highlights the nation’s ongoing efforts to combat international drug trafficking and underscores the importance of vigilance in monitoring maritime activities.
The authorities’ success in intercepting such a significant quantity of narcotics serves as a testament to their commitment to maintaining national security and public health.
