The L'express DZ article, the cited source, is dated "3 septembre 2026" and says "indique jeudi un communiqué de la Direction générale de la Sûreté nationale (DGSN)" (in English: a communiqué of the Directorate General of National Security says on Thursday). The article does not say when the operation took place. 3 September 2026 was a Thursday, and this news item carries that date, the date of the communiqué.

Place

The communiqué names the "Service régional de lutte contre la criminalité organisée d’Oran" (in English: the Oran regional service for combating organised crime) and the prosecutor at the "tribunal d’Es-Sénia (Oran)". It describes the attempted shipment as "au niveau d’une des wilayas de l’Ouest du pays" (in English: at the level of one of the wilayas in the west of the country). The article does not say where the seizure took place. This news item carries Oran Province and no locality.

Attribution

The Moroccan origin is stated in the communiqué, which the article quotes: "ont saisi plus de 67 kg de kif traité en provenance du Maroc" (in English: seized more than 67 kg of processed kif from Morocco). The article's headline gives the origin without attribution: "Oran : Saisie de plus de 67 kg de kif traité en provenance du Maroc". This news item gives the origin as the statement of the Directorate General of National Security.
