Korea has seized 1.1 kilograms (2.4 pounds) of illegal drugs since launching a tighter surveillance program on international mail two months ago, the customs agency said Thursday.
The announcement came after the Korea Customs Service launched a new monitoring scheme in April, under which international mail that has undergone an initial inspection is subject to additional X-ray screening at postal logistics centers.

"Recently, there has been a growing number of drug smuggling attempts through international mail, and concealment methods have become more sophisticated," the agency said in a release.
