Open questions the AI reported
The agency gives no date for the detention or the seizure; 6 November 2026 is the publication date of all three accounts and is used as the incident date.
The seizure is placed only in Osh Region, with no district or settlement named.
The three detainees are identified only by initials, and their citizenship, ages and role in the group are not given beyond 'citizens'.
The service names no specific Criminal Code article and no charge, and no court decision on detention was reported.
The dose count (about 315,000) and the value (95 million soms) are the agency's preliminary estimates, not measured figures.
All three accounts reproduce the same SBNON statement, so they are not independent reporting.
The 24.kg page image is a police handout filed as 'sbnon-mvd', but its caption does not describe what it shows, so no separate picture of the seizure could be confirmed; 24.kg also embeds a short video of the statement whose own file address could not be recovered, and it was not added as media.
Kyrgyzstan’s security service reported four detentions during an investigation into international drug supply. Officers reported seizing marijuana, hashish and mephedrone without giving separate weights or values for the cannabis.

After a man handed hashish to police in Bishkek on 3 September 2024, investigators traced a house in Bash-Kara-Suu, Alamedin district, where they detained a 37-year-old man and woman. A search found 1,150 packets of cannabis straw weighing 26.907 kg in total, which the man said were sold at 2,000 som each, about 2.5 million som.
