Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
Tajikistan's Interior Ministry detained nine suspected members of a drug group and seized 24 kg of hashish from a cache in Matchinsky district. The ministry says the Afghan-sourced hashish was meant for onward smuggling abroad and alleges the group moved about 550-600 kg since 2025.
Police in Tajikistan's Asht district detained four people from an alleged transnational group and seized 6.5 kg of hashish. Investigators allege the drugs came from Afghanistan for transit abroad; the detainees remain in pretrial detention while the investigation continues.
Tajik authorities detained seven suspected members of two transnational groups accused of moving Afghan hashish, opium and methamphetamine through Dushanbe and Rasht district for domestic sale and export. The cannabis component is established as hashish in mixed parcels and packets, but only combined drug totals were published, so no cannabis-only weight is recorded.
Tajikistan's Drug Control Agency detained a 21-year-old man in Bokhtar, Khatlon Region, as he met a buyer for 29 kg 560 g of hashish he had brought from the border area of the Jayhun district. A criminal case was opened under the article on drug trafficking in especially large amounts, and officers investigated.
