A terrorist attack on Moscow’s Crocus City concert hall, claimed by ISIS-K, killed 137 people and wounded over 180, marking Russia’s deadliest attack in over 20 years. The incident underscores the persistent threat of international terrorism. ISIS-K’s escalating activities in Afghanistan and Central Asia pose challenges not only to the region but also internationally, targeting countries like Russia. As ISIS-K expands, concerns grow over destabilized nations and the need to support moderate forces against terrorist networks. In response to the Taliban’s resurgence, the Afghan National Resistance Front has intensified efforts to combat both the Taliban and ISIS-K, though facing challenges due to the lack of international recognition and support. The global community is urged to address the growing influence of extremist groups in fragile regions to prevent further violence and instability.
