PUL-E-KHUMRI, Afghanistan, March 7 (Xinhua) -- Afghan security forces have discovered 59 D-30 howitzers in northern Afghanistan's Baghlan province, a security official said on Friday.

The howitzers, left over from past wars, were discovered on the outskirts of Bano district of the province, said Naqibullah Mohammad, police director of Bano.

Similarly, Afghan security forces discovered a dozen anti-personnel mines and some ammunition in eastern Parwan province early this week.

The Afghan interim government, since assuming power in August 2021, has rounded up thousands of arms and a huge quantity of ammunition as part of efforts to stabilize the security situation across the war-ravaged Central Asian country. Enditem
