The United States and foreign partners stopped a go-fast vessel in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and seized 359 kilograms (roughly 792 pounds) of cocaine and 886 pounds of marijuana.

In addition, authorities apprehended two individuals, the Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) South said in an April 22 post on X. The vessel was seized by Panama’s National Aeronaval Service, which is responsible for conducting the country’s naval and air operations. U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Operations and authorities from Colombia were also part of the operation.
