Authorities have successfully dismantled a major smuggling network after drug traffickers using drones were caught in a major CNF operation. The bust marks a significant achievement for law enforcement agencies fighting cross-border drug trafficking through advanced technology.
According to officials, the operation was carried out by the Counter Narcotics Force (CNF) following weeks of surveillance. Intelligence reports revealed that drug traffickers using drones were transporting narcotics across remote border regions, avoiding traditional checkpoints.
During the operation, CNF agents tracked multiple drone flights suspected of carrying illegal substances. The coordinated effort led to the arrest of several individuals linked to international drug networks. The recovered drones were equipped with GPS systems and high-capacity containers designed to transport narcotics undetected.
Authorities confirmed that drug traffickers using drones caught in a major CNF operation were attempting to smuggle large quantities of synthetic drugs and heroin. The seizure has exposed a growing trend where criminal groups are turning to drones to evade law enforcement.
A CNF spokesperson stated that this was one of the largest and most technologically advanced drug busts of the year. He emphasized that the agency is enhancing its surveillance systems to counter drone-based smuggling, which poses a serious challenge to national security.
Officials also revealed that the captured suspects are being interrogated to uncover the full extent of the network. Further arrests are expected as investigations continue across multiple regions.
Experts have warned that the use of drones in drug trafficking is a global issue, requiring international cooperation. The CNF has pledged to strengthen coordination with border security forces and intelligence agencies to prevent future incidents.
The operation underscores Pakistan’s growing efforts to combat narcotics trafficking through modern surveillance tools and strong enforcement measures.
