Russia on Wednesday carried out military exercises in Tajikistan as the Taliban militant group continued its military operations in neighboring Afghanistan.
About 1,000 troops from Russia s 201st military base in Tajikistan s capital Dushanbe took part in the drills, Russia s Interfax news agency reported.
The Taliban in recent weeks have brought huge swathes of Afghanistan under their control, including the main Shir Khan Bandar border crossing with Tajikistan, as foreign troops withdrew.
According to Interfax, Moscow is closely watching the situation in Afghanistan, concerned about the security of Central Asian countries that had been part of the Soviet Union. Russia maintains bases in a number of these countries.
