KABUL: The Afghan police have launched an operation in the relatively peaceful northeast Badakhshan province and discovered a huge ammunition cache, Abdul Maroof Rasikh, spokesman for the provincial administration said Monday.
The spokesman failed to disclose whether any arrest was made in this case, but added that similar operations would be launched in other districts of the province to ensure "the lasting peace".
The Afghan government, as part of efforts to strengthen peace, has been striving to collect arms from illegal armed men and groups across the militancy-ridden country.
