The Colombian Navy have seized a submarine carrying with more than 1,000 pounds of cocaine in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday.
Officials said it marked the first capture of a so-called "narco-sub" of 2024.
The 50-foot-long semi-submersible was apparently bound for Central America when officers intercepted and boarded the vessel, authorities said.
The navy released a video of the seizure operation showing parcels appeared to feature an insignia of a scorpion while others were marked "Winnie" and "Carnal."
