The Taliban reacted to the incident on the Tajik-Afghan border

After the incident involving gunfire at the Tajik-Afghan border, the Taliban stated that they would not allow anyone to act on Afghan territory against neighboring countries.

The Taliban’s statement was published against the backdrop of concerns from member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization regarding the activation of certain terrorist groups on Afghan territory.

The Taliban’s statement notes that the Afghan government will make every effort to prevent all types of threats to neighboring countries; however, it also called on the authorities of neighboring countries to prevent “the entry of their citizens into Afghan territory for the purpose of carrying out destructive actions.”

“We regret to acknowledge that recently a number of terrorist acts have been committed in Afghanistan by citizens of several countries in the region. Therefore, the governments of these countries must also fulfill their obligations to prevent such events,” the Taliban’s statement said.

It should be noted that last week there were two incidents involving gunfire at the Tajik-Afghan border. As a result, several people were killed, including the head of the GKNB department in Khorog.
