Tajik security forces shoot, kill 2 Afghan drug smugglers who entered Tajikistan from Afghanistan

Two Afghan drug smugglers who crossed the border from Afghanistan into Tajikistan were killed in a shootout with Tajik security forces. 

According to the Kyrgyz newspaper The Times of Central Asia, Tajik security officials said that the Afghan drug smugglers were trying to cross the border. 

According to Tajik officials, 25 kg of drugs were also confiscated from the Afghan smugglers who were killed during the operation in Tajikistan's Farkhor district.

According to the report, Central Asian countries have already declared the unstable military, political and economic situation in Afghanistan a source of concern for the region. 

Experts say that the continued infiltration of Afghan criminal elements into neighboring countries is evidence that the Taliban regime is an equal partner in these criminal activities. 

It should be noted that the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan is approximately 1,370 kilometers long, which is difficult and mountainous in many places, making it difficult to monitor.
