Egyptian troops stop weapon smuggling
The Egyptian armed forces conducted a new operation in the south, which resulted in thwarting an organized criminal network involved in smuggling weapons and ammunition across the southern borders, with the aim of supporting illegal gold mining activities and arms trafficking deep within Egypt. The army clarified that 24 various weapons and 49,211 rounds of ammunition were seized, along with identification documents belonging to foreign nationals. The remaining members of the network are being pursued to take appropriate legal action. This operation reveals a link between the illegal gold economy and arms smuggling. It is part of ongoing efforts since June to enhance border security and combat organized crime, with operations focusing on disrupting sources of illegal funding in desert areas and confronting threats related to the vast mineral reserves in the south.
