As reported by the Khovar agency, citing the press center of the Border Troops of the State National Security Committee of Tajikistan, on May 7, a combat clash occurred between Taliban forces and an armed group of members of the international terrorist organization “Islamic State” in the Khodzhagor area of the Takhor province of Afghanistan, lasting for one and a half hours.

“These areas are located near the state border of Tajikistan, and the bullets accidentally hit the territory of Tajikistan,” the statement notes.

It was previously reported that 4 rockets fired from Afghan territory landed in Tajikistan.

At the same time, the Khorasan branch of the ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the rocket strikes, stating that its militants launched a rocket attack on the border areas of Tajikistan.

Some sources in Tajik security services believe that the strikes were carried out by the “Jamaat Ansarullah” group, whose members are mainly citizens of Tajikistan.

Official representatives of the Taliban have not yet commented on the incident.
