Afghan police arrest 12 drug smugglers

Afghan counter-narcotics police have arrested 12 people on the charge of drug smuggling in seven out of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, the Ministry of Interior said in a statement on Monday.

It is reported in the press that in Pakistan, 12 security personnel were killed last month when a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a check post in Pakistan’s north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

“Nobody is interested in the complete paralysis of an entire state, which borders, among other things, the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States),” said the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.
