The Border Ports Authority announced on Friday the foiling of a series of massive smuggling attempts at Umm Qasr Port in Basra Governorate, during an intensive field inspection. The operations resulted in the seizure of containers holding expired medicines and medical supplies, over 15,000 electronic devices and mobile phones, as well as a training drone, vehicles, and motorcycles violating import regulations, all concealed to evade customs duties. The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing smuggling networks and tightening regulatory measures to protect the national economy and public safety.
