Those operations produced 16 recorded incidents and legal action against 28
suspects.[1] The reports give only that legal action and do not name any
suspect or report any detention, remand or court outcome.[2]
Officers seized 123 kilograms of esrar, the Turkish word for cannabis.[2][3][4] They
also seized 525 cannabis and skunk roots, with kenevir the Turkish word for the
cannabis plant and skunk the local term for high-potency cannabis.[2][3][4] The same
operations also seized 523 pills, which are left out of the cannabis figures
because the reports do not identify them as cannabis.[5][3][4]
A governorship account says the provincial gendarmerie’s anti-narcotics branch
coordinated the work across the province.[5][3][4] The reports are dated 2 November
2026 and give no separate date for when the operations themselves took place.[2]

- Whether the lead photograph shows this specific seizure could not be established from its caption alone.
