Authorities in Colombia have announced the successful capture of six so-called 'narco subs' filled with cocaine as part of a large-scale international anti-drug operation. Led by the Colombian Navy, the mission involved 62 countries and resulted in the seizure of over 1,400 metric tons of drugs, primarily marijuana, between October 1 and November 14.
Vice Adm. Orlando Enrique Grisales, the chief of naval operations staff for the Colombian Navy, revealed that among the confiscated drugs was a significant amount of cocaine, totaling 225 metric tons. Notably, 5 tons of cocaine were discovered aboard a semi-submersible vessel en route from Colombia to Australia.
