Afghanistan border police have detained more than 130 individuals suspected of smuggling, forgery, and other criminal activities during over 100 targeted operations over the past six months, local media Tolo News reported Saturday.
The operations were conducted across multiple provinces along Afghanistan’s borders to disrupt cross-border criminal networks, prevent the smuggling of contraband, and strengthen national security.
Most of the arrests were linked to organized smuggling rings and document forgery, which officials say pose serious challenges to law enforcement and public safety.
The Afghan government stressed that these ongoing border security measures are part of broader efforts to maintain law and order, combat crime, and protect citizens.
