It is still unknown whether the perpetrators of the attack in Kabul were actually citizens of Tajikistan or ethnic Tajiks from other countries. The authorities of Tajikistan have not yet reported on the identities of the attackers.
Earlier, it was reported that on the previous Monday at least three people were killed when a group of militants attacked a Chinese hotel in Kabul. Witnesses reported numerous explosions and several bursts of gunfire. ISIS claims there were 30 dead and wounded. Neither the Taliban nor the Chinese side have confirmed this.
Moreover, the day before the attack, the Chinese ambassador in Kabul, Wang Yu, met with Taliban government Foreign Ministry official Shermuhammad Istalekzai and requested more attention to ensuring the security of the Chinese embassy in Kabul.
