ALGIERS- A significant victory in the fight against terrorism was achieved on Wednesday when ANP forces recovered a large batch of weapons and ammunition during anti-terrorist operations in Ain Defla. The MDN press release on Thursday detailed the success of the operation, which was carried out in response to a recent quality operation in the military sector of Tissemsilt in the 2nd Military Region. This operation resulted in the capture of four terrorists and the recovery of a batch of weapons and ammunition.
Following this success, detachments of the ANP carried out research and combing operations in Ain Defla, in the 1st Military Region, which led to the recovery of a batch of arms and ammunition. The recovered weapons included a 60 mm caliber mortar, a +FMPK+ type machine gun, two pump shotguns, two +Simonov+ type semi-automatic rifles, three repeating rifles, two hunting rifles, two + Colt + type automatic pistols, four magazines, nine shells for 60 mm mortar, 1646 bullets of different calibers, four grenades, and other effects.
This successful operation is a testament to the ANP’s commitment to fighting terrorism and ensuring the safety and security of the Algerian people. The recovery of these weapons will undoubtedly disrupt the activities of terrorist groups and prevent them from carrying out their nefarious plans. The ANP will continue to work tirelessly to eliminate the threat of terrorism and maintain peace and stability in the country.
