Afghan National Army Commandos of the 205th Commando Kandak and Coalition forces destroyed an insurgent drug processing and distribution facility after engaging enemies in the Spin Buldak district, Kandahar province, Nov. 15. 

The combined forces discovered the remote, isolated drug processing and storage facility after receiving reports of illegal activity in the area. The Coalition forces were engaged by four insurgents with small arms as they approached the compound. The insurgents were eliminated using small arms fire. 

The facility contained one ton of narcotics, several 55-gallon drums filled with drug processing chemicals and other drug processing equipment. All of the contents were destroyed on site. 

No civilian casualties or injuries were reported.
