4.5 Tons of Cocaine Seized from Semi-Submersible off Colombia's Coast

The drug bust occurred during a search operation for two missing fishermen, leading to the arrest of four individuals.

Colombian and Ecuadorian navies, along with the Colombian Air Force, intercepted a semi-submersible vessel off the Pacific coast of Colombia, finding 4.5 tons of cocaine.
The operation was initially a search for two missing fishermen last seen near Tumaco, a port city in southwestern Colombia.
Four individuals aboard the semi-submersible were arrested, though their identities and charges have not been disclosed.
The seizure prevented over $137 million from entering drug trafficking organizations and the distribution of more than 10 million doses.
The search for the missing fishermen continues, covering an area of approximately 120 nautical miles.
