Colombian authorities seized 225 tonnes of cocaine in six weeks, a record for any single anti-narcotics operation, disrupting Latin America's cartel operations significantly.
Captain Manuel Rodriguez noted, "This will prevent thousands of deaths from overdoses and $8.5bn from reaching the cartels, making a significant dent in their profits."
The Colombian navy credited the operation's success to unprecedented international cooperation among 62 countries and intelligence-sharing, vital for intercepting illegal shipments.
Operation Orion involved the sharing of intelligence and coordinated efforts, leading to the arrest of over 400 individuals involved in drug trafficking and other illegal activities.
