Algerian counterterrorism troops deployed in remote desert areas of the country discovered large loads of war weapons, Defense Ministry said on Thursday in a statement.
The source noted that the arms were discovered during a reconnaissance patrol of army troops in southern province of Adrar.
It specified that the troops found a bunker containing 40 Kalashnikov machine guns, a 14.5 mm heavy machine-gun, 44 Kalashnikov-type gun loaders and a large quantity of ammunition.
A day before, Defense Ministry said army troops in Tizi Ouzou, 120 km eastern Algiers, discovered a bunker containing eight RPG-2 shells, a quantity of munitions of different calibers and explosive materials.
Algerian army troops on Tuesday killed 12 terrorists in upper woods of Tizi Ouzou, Defense Ministry said.
A few militants affiliated to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and recently established IS affiliate group of Caliphate Soldiers are still taking refuge in the dense woods in northern provinces Tizi Ouzou, Boumerdes and Bouira.
