Syria announces seizure of 12 million captagon pills

DAMASCUS: The Syrian interior ministry said Monday it seized about 12 million captagon stimulant pills in a raid on a drug smuggling network operating near Damascus. The seizure marks one of the largest drug busts since the transitional authority assumed power in late 2024. Following “precise monitoring and tracking of a smuggling network attempting to traffic large quantities of narcotics abroad,” security forces seized “around 12 million captagon pills in the Al-Dumayr area,” Brig. Gen. Khaled Eid, director of the Anti-Narcotics Department, said in a ministry statement.
