Lukashenko Says Helped Russia Stop Concert Gunmen From Fleeing to Belarus
Quick Glance: Lukashenko Supervises Troops Near Lithuanian Border
  • During a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Russia-Belarus Union State in Saint Petersburg, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko inspected a tank battalion near the Lithuanian border and directed that any 'provocation' there must be met with force, as reported by a Telegram channel close to his administration on Tuesday.

  • Emphasizing the need to 'publicly stop any provocation', Lukashenko highlighted that 'any violation of the state border must be decisively countered'.

  • The deteriorating relations between Lithuania, a member of the European Union and NATO, and Minsk have been attributed to Lithuania's support for the opposition in Belarus.

Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.
