    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nearly three tonnes of cocaine has been seized from a ship off the coast of Senegal, the West African state’s navy says.

    The region is a transit point for Latin American cartels trafficking drugs to Europe and elsewhere.

    However, the navy did not give details of the vessel or its crew, except that 10 people were on board and one of them was a Senegalese national.

    The vessel was intercepted by a naval patrol in international waters about 150km (93 miles) from the capital Dakar, and taken to a naval base on Tuesday for “identification and logging of the seized products”, the navy said.

    It posted photos on X a docked rusty vessel, that appear to show the intercepted cargo in bundles, with officers standing beside it.

    It was reportedly carrying 750kg of cocaine, hidden inside 15 cars, with European countries being among its destination.


    The original article contains 230 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 37%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
