Over 1 Million Captagon Pills Seized at Al-Odeidah Border Crossing
Security forces at the Al-Odeidah border crossing with Saudi Arabia have seized over 1.5 million Captagon pills hidden on a refrigerated truck coming from Sana'a. The pills were discovered after security personnel became suspicious of the truck and conducted a thorough search. According to Colonel Amir Al-Azab, commander of the security battalion at the crossing, the driver admitted during initial investigations that the shipment belonged to smugglers in Sana'a and was intended for delivery to a person in Sharurah, Saudi Arabia.
