Five arrested over illegal deposit exploitation.

The Special Forces for Environmental Security said they arrested five residents in the Eastern Province for allegedly exploiting natural deposits. Legal procedures were taken against them. But the operation didn't stop with the arrests: four pieces of equipment used for excavation and soil transport were seized too. The forces urged people to report environmental violations, saying reports would be treated confidentially and would not make the reporter liable.
