Almost all opium poppy crops in Afghanistan destroyed

Satellite images show that almost all opium poppy crops in Afghanistan have been destroyed, Russian Ambassador to Afghanistan Dmitry Zhirnov said in an interview with TASS.

"Almost all opium poppy crops have been destroyed. There are maybe 5% left, maybe less. This can be seen on satellite images," he said.

As Zhirnov recalled, last September it was the participants in the Moscow format of consultations on Afghanistan "who drew attention to the importance of combating industrial drug production"
