The eliminated terrorists were found to possess: ten grenades, three M-16 rifles, three pistols, an AK-47 assault rifle, a night vision scope, and explosives.
This is already the third attempt of an armed attack from Afghanistan in the past month, noted Tajik authorities, according to information from the "Khovar" agency.
The border troops expressed concern about the Taliban government's inability to fulfill international obligations to ensure security along the border with Tajikistan and to combat terrorist groups.
In conclusion, the agency expressed hope that the "Taliban government" would apologize to the people of Tajikistan and take the necessary measures to improve security at the border.
Currently, the situation at the border is stable, and the investigation is ongoing.
