Afghan police in eastern Nangarhar province destroyed four heroin labs and over 200 kg of contraband used in manufacturing heroin, an Interior Ministry statement issued here Tuesday said.
No arrests was made in the operation launched Monday in Achin district, it added.
Afghanistan, with an output of 8,200 tons of opium poppy in 2007, has topped all poppy growing nations in producing the raw material used in manufacturing heroin in the world.
The Afghan government said it was trying hard to make 20 provinces free of poppy this year out of the country's 34 provinces.
