"Special Forces Seize €150m Cocaine Haul in Daring Raid on Irish Drug Ship"

TL;DR Summary
Commandos from Ireland's Army Ranger Wing stormed a cartel 'mother ship' off the coast of Ireland, seizing over 2,250 kilograms of suspected cocaine worth around £136 million. The elite troops fast-roped down from a helicopter onto the Panamanian-registered MV Matthew cargo vessel, which had refused to stop in the Atlantic. The operation, conducted in collaboration with the Irish navy and the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, resulted in the arrest of three men on suspicion of organised crime offences. The drugs were believed to be destined for Irish and European markets, dealing a blow to international drug distribution networks.
