Security officials of the Taliban administration in Kabul announced the arrest of two individuals on charges of smuggling and selling narcotic drugs in the jurisdiction of the 19th police district of the city.

Khalid Zadran, spokesperson for the Kabul Police Command, wrote on his Facebook page that as a result of the operation, approximately six thousand narcotic pills of the “Zikp” type, along with a vehicle, were seized from the arrested individuals.

According to him, the initial case files of these individuals have been prepared and they are to be handed over to the relevant judicial and legal institutions to undergo legal procedures.
