Seven Detained as Six Tonnes of Smuggled Medicines Seized in Nimroz
Security forces in northwestern Nimroz province arrested seven individuals and seized nearly six tonnes of human and veterinary medicines smuggled from Pakistan.
Highway battalion forces made the confiscation in the Dasht-i-Margo area, Mawlawi Gul Mohammad Qudrat, spokesperson for Nimroz police, said. The haul included 4,800 units of serum, 300 liters of thinner, 400 kilograms of human medicines, 62 cartons of veterinary medicines, five bales of cloth, three communication devices and one camera.
Qudrat said the seizure occurred amid Afghanistan's suspension of trade with Pakistan due to attacks and the closure of transit routes.
The operation underscores ongoing efforts to combat smuggling in the region bordering Pakistan.
