Unidentified helicopters are redeploying large numbers of ISIS members from Pakistan to Afghanistan’s border with Tajikistan, close to Russia’s southern border, Russian Interior Minister Igor Zubov stated on January 28.
Zubov added that it’s highly likely that large-scale provocations are being prepared in the area in order to trigger a humantiarian crisis and destabilize the situation near the Russian southern border.
In 2018, there were multiple reports about ‘unidentified helicopters’ evacuating ISIS members in Syria and assisting ISIS members in Afghanistan. Now, it seems that this tendency has increased.
At the same time, FSB Head Alexander Bortnikov announced that in 2018 security forces cracked down on 37 terrorist cells in Russia.
