Two civil guards were killed by a drug boat in southern Spain. The officers arrived in their boat to dismantle an illegal exhibition of boats linked to drug trafficking.
In addition, one person was seriously injured. The Bay of Cádiz is a regular scene of drug seizures by customs agents and Spanish law enforcement agencies. Spain is one of the European drug import routes, and the Andalusia region, due to its proximity to Morocco where cannabis resin is produced, is a gateways for the drug.
