KABUL- Sunday, the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) with International Security Assistance Force partners conducted an operation to recover a suspected weapons cache in Jaghatu district, Ghazni province.
The combined force located a cache of approximately 45 recoilless rifle rounds of 75mm SPG-9 and one 82mm mortar round. After locating the cache and establishing a safety cordon, the combined force conducted a controlled explosion to destroy the cache. "The destruction of the weapons cache results in an increase of security for both the Afghan population and combined forces," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director.
The aim of this operation was to disrupt insurgents' access to material required to continue attacks against Afghans, ANSF and ISAF troops.
No civilians were injured during the conduct of this operation.
