One militant was killed and another eight suspects were arrested during operations in several districts of the province this week, the police official said.
During the offensive, police also seized 171 walkie-talkies, 150 sacks of ammonium nitrate used in making roadside bombs, 17 bombs, mortar, Kalashnikov, five motorcycles and four boxes of bullets.
Atrafi added another nine people were arrested on charges of criminal activities and six motorbikes and two cars seized from the group.
Thirteen people, in possession of 41 kg of heroin and 106 kg of hashish, were also detained, he added. Atraif hoped the security situation would further improve with cooperation from local people.
