Tajikistan’s Security Forces Kill Two Terrorists on its Border with Afghanistan

On Wednesday, the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan said that two members of an international terrorist cell were murdered while attempting to breach the state border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan.

“Two members of an international terrorist cell crossed the state border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday morning to conduct terrorist activities. The terrorists were eliminated in a joint anti-terror operation by the republic’s law enforcement agencies,” local media reported.

The investigation is going on to identify the identity of the militants, the statement said.

It also added that the incident happened in the autonomous province of Gorno-badakhsahn, Vanj District.

It also reported that the scene contained two Kalashnikov assault weapons, two handguns, eight hand grenades, 12 boxes of ammunition, 19 parcels carrying explosives, two communication devices, and two cell phones.

The operation ended without any causalities to the civilians of Tajikistan.

Earlier, the regional countries, including Central Asian states, in the fourth meeting of Foreign Ministers of Afghanistan’s neighbouring states, expressed their concerns about growing terrorist outlets.

The neighbouring states stressed security and economic cooperation among them and called on the de facto authorities to fight against terror groups in the country.
