Kyrgyz security forces have conducted a large-scale operation in the south of the country, neutralizing members of groups linked to Katibat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad and the Islamic State. The operation, focused on Osh, Kyzyl-Kiya, Kara-Suu, and Kadamjay districts, targeted individuals allegedly planning attacks against law enforcement and religious leaders. Thirty-one suspects were detained – eleven in the Osh region and twenty in the Batken region. Authorities seized weapons, extremist literature, and funds believed to be intended for supporting underground activities. The crackdown comes as Kyrgyzstan grapples with potential threats from extremist organizations operating in the region. No details were provided regarding the specific targets or timing of the planned attacks. Separately, reports indicate Kyrgyzstan is seeking a $1 billion loan and will restrict the sale of vehicles by debtors.
