In Tajikistan, the State National Security Committee has made significant arrests this week in connection to the Russian concert hall shooting suspects and Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), as reported by a Tajik security source to Reuters.
All nine individuals were apprehended on Monday in Vakhdat city and have since been transported to the capital, Dushanbe, according to the same source.
The suspects are believed to have ties to both the perpetrators of the concert hall shooting in Russia and the ISIS-K extremist group.
This development underscores the ongoing threat of terrorism in the region.
Additional information and details on the detainees have not been disclosed at this time.
Investigators are likely delving into potential connections, motives, and any plans that may have been in the works.
The Tajik security forces are working diligently to prevent any further acts of violence or extremism.
Our thoughts are with the victims of the Russian concert hall shooting and their families during this time.
As the situation continues to unfold, the global community remains vigilant in the fight against terrorism.
