The French navy seized six tons of cocaine on a ship traveling from South America in the largest drug seizure off the West African coast this year.

The narcotic was discovered when the French vessel intercepted a Saint Kitts and Nevis-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Guinea, the French Justice Ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
