Honduran soldiers confiscated a record 15 tons of illegal narcotics hidden underground as the Central American nation becomes the biggest destination for South American drug flights.

The drugs, likely cocaine or methamphetamines, were found yesterday by a counter-narcotics team investigating a hidden underground storage room on a farm in the country’s northern Yoro region, said Melvin Duarte, a spokesman for the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the capital, Tegucigalpa.
