The Tajik National Security Committee has demanded an official apology from the Taliban administration following the death of two soldiers near the Afghan border.
Officials accused the group of “irresponsibility” and failing to honor commitments to secure the shared frontier.
According to reports, the clash occurred on December 24 when terrorists entered Tajikistan from Afghan soil.
While two border guards lost their lives, Tajik authorities confirmed that three terrorists were also neutralized during the exchange of fire.
Dushanbe has urged the Taliban to take effective measures to ensure border stability and fight terrorism.
The incident underscores rising tensions and security concerns along Afghanistan’s northern borders with Central Asian neighbors.
