Alexander Zoev, the UN's deputy secretary-general for counter-assassination, said the ISIS group's Khorasan branch in Afghanistan had acquired modern tactical equipment, including drones, and its personnel had received the necessary training for their practical use.
According to him, at the first expert meeting of the "Shanghai Plus" Yeshiva on security issues, which was held in the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan, this group still uses artificial intelligence, and this issue is reflected in its advertising content that is published in Central Asian languages.
This UN official said: Other assassination groups active at the regional and national level also use such methods.
Alexander Zoev added: "As I emphasized in my speech, Central Asia has traditionally suffered from various forms of assassination, and Uzbekistan is no exception."
