Sergei Shoigu, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, announced that the Taliban government has successfully reduced the production and smuggling of heavy drugs by nearly ninety percent. He praised this decisive action by Kabul authorities as a massive achievement in the ongoing anti-drug campaign.
These remarks come at a time when security officials from Central Asian countries recently expressed deep concern over the continuous drug smuggling through Afghan transit routes. They have reported intercepting and confiscating multiple illegal shipments along their shared borders.
For many decades, Afghanistan was known as one of the world's largest opium producers. However, Russian intelligence has warned that transnational criminal networks are still actively operating in the broader region and have established new synthetic drug laboratories.
