Syria ·

The Syrian anti-narcotics administration said in a statement posted on its official accounts that it carried out 157 security operations during October and dismantled 30 domestic smuggling networks, seizing large and varied quantities of narcotics.

Captagon, an amphetamine-type stimulant, was produced on a large scale in Syria and smuggled for years to neighbouring countries and Gulf markets, and its seizures are regularly reported across the region.
