DUSHANBE — Tajik officials say one of the country’s border guards and a suspected terrorist have been killed in an ongoing security operation along the border with Afghanistan.

Muhammad Ulughojaev, a spokesman for Tajikistan’s border guard service, told RFE/RL on March 7 that the operation had started on March 5 after nine armed militants crossed into Tajikistan from Afghanistan.

Afghan officials told RFE/RL on March 6 that the nine extremists were members of the Taliban, which controls 30 percent of territory in the Imam-Sahib district in Afghanistan’s Konduz Province, which borders with Tajikistan.

Tajik border guards and security forces are continuing to search for the remaining Islamist militants on islets in the Panj River that divides the two countries.
