ANASF detain insurgent, discover explosives in Logar
KABUL PROVINCE, Afghanistan- Afghan National Army Special Forces (ANASF) detained an insurgent in Baraki Barak district, Logar province, Aug. 6.
Afghan National Army Special Forces conducted a clearing operation in Zyawuddin and Qarya-i-Hayat villages to deny insurgent safe havens and locate enemy weapons caches.
The ANASF detained one insurgent during the operation and also discovered 9kg of homemade explosive materials buried near a mosque.
“We cleared the area effectively, we captured an insurgent and found some explosives,” said an ANASF company commander. “This discovery will weaken the enemy’s ability to operate in this district and attack the Afghan forces that provide security for the villagers.”
With the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s recent announcement of Tranche 5, Afghan National Security Forces have irreversibly taken the lead for Afghanistan’s security.
The detainee was transferred to custody of the detainees to the Baraki Barak District National Directorate of Security.
Afghan National Army Special Forces are an elite group that conducts high-risk operations in remote areas known to be enemy strongholds. These counterinsurgency missions assist national and local police in their efforts to increase security, governance and development.
No civilians were injured and no structural damage was reported during this operation.
