The Syldaean Coastal Guard has indiscriminately sunk several speed boats which were illegally sailing through Syldaean territorial seas. The boats are thought to be part of drug trafficking organizations, however, due to the way the Coastal Guard has been handling the situation, this cannot be confirmed, even if it’s likely.
Chancellor Daniel Schultze has reiterated that the Syldaean government will keep up a strong fight against all sorts of drugs, in order to protect the Syldaean population from their effects. Despite this, deaths from drug overdoses in Syldain have continued to increase, with the deaths being mainly from tourists.
Some sources within the Syldaean police force report the production of drugs, such as fentanyl, within the Republic in clandestine lab. However, the scale of this production is not known, and many important figures from the police claim a lack of necessary funding to deal with this in an effective way, mainly due to the generalized budget cuts from recent government policies.
