Venezuela seized 1,129 kg of cocaine and detained 46 drug trafficking suspects on Sunday in an operation launched by the country's anti-drug forces, the authorities said.
The operation was carried out in Cabello Port in the state of Carabobo, 100 km west of the capital of Caracas, Interior Minister Tareck El Aissami said.
He did not give more details about the raid, but said the detainees were members of a drug trafficking ring which has links with Mexico's drug cartels.
According to the minister, some 31 tons of drugs have been seized in Venezuela this year.
