The military government of Myanmar, long noted as one of the world’s biggest producers of heroin and methamphetamine, has announced what it describes as the country’s largest-ever seizures of illicit drugs and equipment used to produce them, state media reported Thursday.
The seizures were the result of a large-scale operation carried out on Jan. 8-12 targeting drug production and online scam centers in northern Shan state, state-run newspapers including Myanma Alinn reported.
