UAE and Kuwait stop drug ring, seize 14 million Captagon pills in joint operation.

UAE and Kuwait authorities disrupted a major international drug operation, seizing 14,062,500 Captagon pills hidden in corn grain across five containers at a regional port. The haul, weighing 2.25 tonnes, was intercepted after intelligence sharing led to coordinated action between Dubai Police and Kuwait’s anti-narcotics agencies. Three Arab nationals were arrested during the unloading. Officials emphasized the success of regional cooperation in thwarting a significant trafficking network, reinforcing efforts to prevent the UAE from becoming a drug transit or storage hub.
