Two French Navy frigates operating as part of the Saudi-led Combined Task Force 150 (CTF 150) intercepted multiple vessels in the Arabian Sea and seized a massive haul of illegal narcotics valued at over $142 million.

Over nine separate boarding operations, French crews found and confiscated more than 16 tonnes of crystal methamphetamine and hash from unmarked dhows during routine maritime security patrols.
