Uzbekistan's border authorities seized 596 kilograms of narcotics, including hashish and opium, hidden inside heavy machinery at the Termez border crossing with Afghanistan.
The interception highlights ongoing trafficking pressure along Central Asia's volatile southern frontier. Afghanistan remains a significant source of illicit drugs destined for regional and international markets.
Termez, a key crossing point between the two nations, has become increasingly critical for counter-narcotics operations as authorities attempt to stem the flow of Afghan opioids northward into Central Asian republics and beyond.
