Security Forces Seize Weapons and Ammunition in Afghanistan’s Paktika

According to a statement released by the General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) on Monday, Afghan security forces in the country’s eastern Paktika province have confiscated significant weapons and ammunition.

The confiscated weapons and ammunition, according to the statement, include thousands of bullets and explosive devices, 35 rocket shells, four mines, 14 hand grenades, and some other unlawfully preserved munitions. They were found during operations in the province’s Yusufkhil and Janikhil districts.

Earlier this month, the Afghan security forces found a huge arm and ammunition in the northern Takhar province of Afghanistan, according to the provincial officials.

The confiscated ammunitions and weapons include three pieces of Kalashnikovs, a PK machine gun, an M16, a rocket launcher, and several other explosive and nonexplosive devices. 

No mention of arrests was made in the statement. The Taliban security forces claim they will seize weapons and ammunition from anyone outside the security forces.
