The military operation against drug trafficking took place in the Campo Yuca village, municipality of Tibú, a sector where men of the Artillery Battalion No. 30 “Baalla de Cúcuta”, found around 74 kilograms of coca base paste, which would be marketed with criminal organizations of Venezuela and Mexico.
