Dating

The report gives no dates for the raids or the spraying. It says that the first stage of the operation had ended ("Первый этап межведомственной операции "Мак-2026" завершился в Приморье"). The stored date is the date PrimaMedia published the police statement, 20 July 2026.

Quantities

The stored area is the police figure for all wild cannabis destroyed in the first stage: "35 очагов дикорастущей конопли общей площадью свыше 18 гектаров" (35 stands of wild cannabis with a total area of more than 18 hectares). The report does not say how much of that area was sprayed. The figure of "свыше 28 тысяч кустов конопли и опийного мака" (more than 28,000 cannabis and opium poppy plants) combines two crops, so no plant count is stored.

Map pin

This news item has no map pin. The report names six districts where stands were destroyed and says only that drones sprayed herbicide "в ряде районов" (in a number of districts), without naming them.
