Fight Against Illegal Gold Panning in Poro: Cyanide Seized and Destroyed by BSSI

On September 6, 2026, the Special Surveillance and Intervention Brigade (BSSI) conducted an operation in the Poro region, targeting clandestine sites in Oumbolo and Tangafla. This intervention, named 'Green Net of the North', resulted in the seizure of three barrels of cyanide, a toxic chemical. Despite security measures, illegal miners were alerted before the agents' arrival, making the operation challenging.
