Authorities demolished a drug lab and apprehend the owner in north Afghanistan's Jawzjan Province.

According to the provincial director for counter-narcotics police, Mohammad Younus Akhundzada, a covert drug processing lab was identified, stormed, and dismantled on Wednesday. Its proprietor was also taken into custody in what marks a significant win for the authorities.

Akhundzada narrated the event in an official statement. "After our personnel in Qushtepa district located the suspicious site, we mounted operations to raid and annihilate the drug lab. It was an all-out destruction – every piece of equipment, including bowls and barrels, was consumed by the fire we set."

In a related development, similar action was taken in the Dara-e-Suf district of Samangan province. On Tuesday, authorities unearthed and eliminated another drug lab, along with paraphernalia used in the manufacture of heroin. The twin operations represent a significant step forward in Afghanistan's fight against the rampant drug trade.
