Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has renewed a threat to kill drug dealers after officers seized 756 kg of methamphetamines during a raid.
"If you destroy my country distributing 5.1 billion pesos worth of shabu ... I will kill you," Duterte asserted, without elaborating where the drugs came from.
He, however, claimed the Philippines had turned into a transhipment point for narcotics, with seized drugs valued at $102.22 million.
It comes after a UN report criticised Duterte's anti-narcotics campaign as "permission to kill" amid "near impunity" for top officials.
