Police have discovered and destroyed two drug processing labs in south Afghanistan's Uruzgan province, said a statement of the provincial police headquarters on Saturday.

Acting on a tip-off, police launched operations in Chahar Chino district of Uruzgan province on Friday. They unearthed a drug processing lab along with a massive quantity of materials and objects used in manufacturing heroin, and smashed them on the spot, the statement said.

The statement did not mention if anyone had been arrested.

In a similar crackdown, police destroyed a drug lab in the same district on Thursday.

The Afghan caretaker government has vowed to fight against poppy cultivation and opium trade in the war-torn country.
