  "account": "The Pakistan Navy has seized a significant amount of narcotics, valued at approximately $96 million, in two separate operations in the Arabian Sea. According to Pakistan's military media wing, the Navy recovered 2,850 kilograms of drugs from two vessels - dhows - operating far from the Pakistani coastline during counternarcotics missions. Out of the seized drugs, about 850 kilograms were ice methamphetamine, while 2,000 kilograms were hashish and cannabis. The drugs, with an estimated worth of $96 million, have been handed over to relevant authorities for disposal and legal proceedings.\n\nMaritime routes, particularly in the Arabian Sea and broader Indian Ocean, have frequently been utilized for drug trafficking. The recent arrests mark ongoing efforts by Pakistan and other regional maritime forces to dismantle illicit drug operations at sea. In September 2026, the Pakistan Navy reported another operation, seizing over 2,800 kilograms of narcotics, valued at roughly $750 million, aboard the HUNAIN and YARMOOK ships.",
