For years, the Syrian regime denied that captagon production happened within territories it controlled. Yet in the first three days since Assad left, we've found industrial-scale captagon trafficking and manufacturing facilities in: 1. Mazzeh Air Base (likely affiliated with the Air Force Intelligence Directorate) 2. Latakia (found at Munther al-Assad's Syria Car Trading Company) 3. Douma (found at a major production facility believed to be controlled by Maher al-Assad--equipped with all of the precursor materials you'd ever need and even pretty chandeliers!) 4. Undisclosed Location (a warehouse affilicated with Maher where captagon pills were dumped) 5. Undisclosed location (a 4th Division HQ facility where bags of captagon were found) It looks like local community members and opposition forces are incinerating pills and disassembling facilities as they identify them. We should expect much more to come. Video credit of the Douma raid from Qalaat Al Mudiq
