The incident occurred at an aging ammunition depot housed in a container at the counter-narcotics department compound.

Supply-chain impact

If confirmed, the incident could affect local security conditions in Kandahar province, potentially impacting regional transport corridors, though the localized nature of the explosion suggests minimal immediate supply-chain disruption.
