The Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (ODKB), Imangali Tasmagambetov, emphasized the use of terrorism in hybrid warfare, urging ODKB member states to develop effective countermeasures.
Tasmagambetov highlighted the evolving nature of terrorism as a tool in hybrid warfare, inciting civil unrest and ethnic/religious divisions. He noted the challenge in reaching a consensus on combating terrorism due to the lack of a universally accepted definition. Tasmagambetov's remarks came in response to the recent terrorist attack at "Crocus City Hall," where gunmen opened fire before a concert, prompting President Putin to address the nation.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev expressed condolences to Putin and the Russian people on behalf of all Kazakh citizens following the tragic incident in the Moscow region.
