The border security claimed that the men shot and killed two border guards as a result of the gunfight that followed.
The agency reported that the incident, which included civilians and Tajik border guards, was the third of its kind in recent weeks.
The border guards seized the ammunition and weapons used by the intruders, including grenades, three M-16 rifles, a Kalashnikov assault rifle, three foreign-made pistols with silencers, ten hand grenades, a night-vision scope, explosives, and other ammunition, according to the organization.
The terrorists “offered armed resistance” and “refused to follow Tajik border guards’ orders to surrender. According to the statement, they intended to armed attack one of the Border Troops’ posts in Tajikistan, according to the statement.
Among those killed was a group of Chinese employees employed by a mining company in the area.
The most recent incident demonstrated “the Taliban government’s failure to fulfill their international obligations and repeatedly pledges to fight terrorist organizations and ensure security and stability along the state border with the Republic of Tajikistan, reflecting serious and recurring irresponsibility,” the statement continued.
The Afghan leadership should be apologetic, the organization claimed.
Tajikistan, it added, will use every means to defend its territorial integrity from “terrorists and smugglers.”
Afghanistan has not yet made any comments regarding the incident.
