KABUL, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Security forces have discovered a huge weapon cache containing a variety of arms and ammunition, including anti-aircraft guns, in eastern Afghanistan's Nuristan province, said an army statement on Thursday.

The weaponry, which includes two anti-aircraft guns, dozens of AK-47 assault rifles, thousands of bullets, and many more military equipments was recovered from the Kamdish district recently, the statement added without providing more details.

Afghan caretaker government has collected thousands of pieces of weapons, including battle tanks, since assuming power in August 2021 following the U.S.-led forces withdrawal from Afghanistan. Since then, no one outside the security organs has been allowed to carry arms illegally. Enditem
