Tajikistan says three Chinese workers killed in attack from Afghanistan
The Tajik government said on Thursday that three employees of a Chinese company were killed in an attack by a drone “launched from Afghan territory.”
The Tajik Foreign Ministry said the drone was carrying grenades and firearms.
The ministry claimed that “criminal groups” operating inside Afghanistan were responsible for the attack.
Tajikistan condemned the attack and called on Islamic Emirate authorities to take “effective measures” to ensure stability and security along the border.
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the attack.
“The use of armed drones in the incident underlines the gravity of threat emanating from Afghanistan and the brazenness of those behind it,” the ministry said in a statement.
The Islamic Emirate has not yet responded to the news.
