Three Chinese Nationals Killed In Afghan-Tajik Border Attack On Gold Mining Camp
Militants operating from Afghanistan used firearms and a grenade-laden drone to kill three Chinese workers near Tajikistan's southern border, officials said.
- Tajik authorities said on Thursday three Chinese workers were killed in an attack launched from Afghanistan near the border, but did not name a suspect.
- Tajikistan says its foreign ministry blames criminal groups located in Afghanistan for acts destabilising border regions amid recent months of clashes and strained Taliban relations since 2021.
- The attack involved firearms and a drone loaded with grenades that struck workers of a Chinese company in the country's south, Tajikistan said.
- Several Chinese companies operate in Tajikistan's mining and natural resources sectors near the border, and one Chinese worker was killed last year in a similar attack, raising diplomatic sensitivity.
- The long, mountainous frontier of around 1,350km sees militants from jihadist groups active, while President Emomali Rakhmon urges the Taliban to respect ethnic Tajiks amid tensions.
