Seized 300 Defence Camera Technologies Bound For Iran, Says Taliban

Jan 17, 2026, 13:41 GMT+0

The Taliban Ministry of Interior said it has seized nearly 300 military cameras in Nimruz province, near the border with Iran.

The group also said that they arrested two people on suspicion of attempting to smuggle the equipment out of the country.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the ministry said at least 286 military cameras were discovered during an operation in Nimruz and were being transported in a passenger vehicle intended to cross into Iran.

The ministry said two suspects were detained in connection with the alleged smuggling attempt. Following preliminary investigations, the suspects were handed over to the Nimruz Counterterrorism Directorate for further questioning.

The Taliban did not provide additional details about the origin of the cameras or their intended use.
