Massive Cocaine Bust in Colombia: Over 6 Tons Seized in Two-Day Operation

Colombian authorities announced a major victory in the fight against drug trafficking with the seizure of over six tons of cocaine. The operation, which spanned two days, involved both land and sea operations. Three tons of the illegal substance were discovered buried near Tumaco, with the assistance of a specially trained military dog. "The dog's keen sense of smell was instrumental in locating the hidden narcotics," stated a spokesperson for the Colombian Navy. The remaining three tons were found on a boat intercepted at sea. The total value of the seized cocaine is estimated at over \$300 million. This significant blow to drug cartels highlights the ongoing commitment of Colombian forces to disrupt the illegal drug trade. The successful operation offers a glimmer of hope in the relentless battle against drug trafficking.
