Source discrepancies
Two reports of the provincial police statement give the same figure with a different unit and crop:
| Report | Area | Crops |
|---|---|---|
| Xinhua (5 October 2026) | "3,361 acres" | "hashish farms" |
| İLKHA (5 October 2026) | "3,361 dunams" | "poppy, cannabis and other crops used in illegal drug production" |
The statement itself, in Dari or Pashto, has not been found. This news item gives no area.
Dating
Xinhua, under the dateline "KABUL, Oct. 5", says the provincial police office issued its statement "on Monday", which was 5 October 2026, and that the destruction took place "over the past two weeks". Neither report gives dates for the operations. The stored date is the date of the statement.
