Colombia's Navy successfully seized more than five tonnes of cocaine in an operation conducted in the Colombian Caribbean region. The operation represents a significant blow against the routes used by drug trafficking organisations to send narcotics towards Central America.

Naval authorities carried out the seizure as part of ongoing efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking in the country's jurisdictional waters. The seized cargo was reportedly destined for international markets through corridors connecting Colombia's northern coast with Central American territories.

This operation adds to a series of military and police actions aimed at dismantling the logistical structures of criminal groups engaged in drug trafficking. Maritime interdiction constitutes one of the pillars of the state's strategy to reduce the flow of illicit drugs from Colombian territory.
