On June 23, 2026, the police in Nghe An province announced the successful dismantling of a drug trafficking operation, leading to the arrest of Hoàng Văn Khánh, a 64-year-old resident of Kim Bảng. Khánh was apprehended on the evening of June 22 during a coordinated police operation in Trường Kỳ village, where he was caught in the act of selling illegal drugs.

Authorities discovered and seized two bricks of heroin, one kilogram of methamphetamine, 200 ecstasy pills, and a motorcycle during the operation. Hoàng Văn Khánh, who has a prior conviction related to drug offenses, initially confessed to his involvement in the illegal activities when questioned by the police.

This operation is part of a broader initiative by the Nghe An police to combat drug-related crimes, particularly during this peak period of anti-drug enforcement. The successful arrest of Khánh highlights the ongoing commitment of law enforcement to tackle drug trafficking in the region.

The investigation into this case is ongoing, with police looking to expand their inquiry into Khánh's network and any additional individuals involved in the drug trade.
