Following the US withdrawal, a massive amount of military equipment, including weaponry and vehicles, was left behind in Afghanistan.
This abandoned arsenal, now largely in Taliban hands, is being sold or smuggled to various militant groups across the region.
Reports indicate that at least half a million weapons are unaccounted for, raising serious security concerns internationally.
Despite Taliban denials, evidence suggests a thriving black market trade in these US-supplied weapons, empowering extremist factions.
