According to the border agency's statement, the intruders attacked a guard post, leading to the deaths of two Tajik border guards. In the subsequent gun battle, three of the intruders were killed. This marks the third such incident in recent weeks involving casualties among Tajik border personnel and civilians.

The agency indicated that the intruders refused to comply with orders to surrender and were planning an armed attack on a border post. Additionally, the statement highlighted the repeated security failures of the Taliban government to maintain stability along the border and combat terrorist activities.

The Tajik authorities have expressed a demand for an apology from Afghan leadership and reiterated their commitment to defending Tajikistan's territorial integrity against "terrorists and smugglers."

The border between Afghanistan and Tajikistan spans approximately 1,340 km (830 miles) and is known to be a route for drug smuggling into Central Asia. Russian forces are present in Tajikistan and have historically participated in joint exercises with Tajik forces to enhance border security. Afghanistan has not yet issued a statement regarding the recent incident.
