The operations took place on July 31 and August 1, 2026. After investigating and identifying targets, specialist police carried out raids at five locations in Stung Treng province.
According to Major General សារី បុត្រសត្យា, Stung Treng provincial police commissioner, officers seized five packages of white crystalline drugs—one large and four small—and 145 drug tablets that had become wet and dissolved together.
