Thailand's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 26 destroyed $600 million worth of drugs, including tons of amphetamine, heroin and cocaine.
On the same day, Myanmar also destroyed a quantity of drugs worth 446.05 million USD confiscated after anti-drug campaigns across the country...
The FDA said the drugs destroyed included 27 tons of amphetamine, 5 tons of cathinone, 275 kg of heroin, 43 kg of cocaine and 6 kg of opium seized in 192 cases. The Thai Ministry of Public Health stressed that the authorities had tested the drugs before destroying them.
The FDA said the drugs were incinerated in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines to ensure no toxic substances or byproducts were released into the environment. The agency live-streamed the destruction on Facebook to ensure transparency and accountability in the storage and destruction of the seized drugs.
Thailand is a major transit hub for drug trafficking along the Mekong River basin. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the illicit drug and wildlife trade in the region was worth an estimated $130 billion in 2019.
